Have you ever felt like your spouse was pulling away?

Short answers. Little energy. No enthusiasm. No affection. No engagement.

It's easy to assume something is wrong with your marriage—or something is wrong with them.

But what if the issue isn't a lack of love?

What if they're simply exhausted?

In this episode of My Wife Still Likes Me, we're talking about what it means to be a supportive spouse when your husband or wife feels like they have nothing left in the tank.

We'll discuss:
• Why exhaustion often gets mistaken for rejection
• How assumptions create distance in marriage
• The difference between fixing and supporting
• Practical ways to help an overwhelmed spouse
• Why healthy marriages aren't always 50/50

Because every marriage experiences seasons when one spouse is carrying more than they can handle.

The question isn't whether those seasons will come.

The question is how we'll respond when they do.

Discussion Question:
When you're overwhelmed, what makes you feel most supported by your spouse?

And what's one way you've learned to be a better teammate in your marriage?

Helping couples change the narrative of marriage through intentional conversations, practical tools, and real-life experiences.
