Do you ever look at your marriage and think… why am I so irritated lately?
Like nothing is “wrong”… but you’re snapping more, controlling more, or feeling strangely disconnected?

This conversation is for the woman who loves her husband, loves her kids, loves her faith… and still finds herself overwhelmed, tense, or quietly checked out — not because her marriage is falling apart, but because she’s exhausted… and something interior is off.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Lydia Kray, who has been sacramentally married to her husband, Daniel, for 38 years. Lydia shares the turning point in her marriage: what had to heal in her, what she had to own, and why prayer wasn’t the “extra”… it was the glue.

We talk about:

How pride, control, and ego show up in everyday marriage (even in small things like errands and routines)
Why “happy wife, happy life” misses the point
The difference between becoming roommates vs. staying life mates
A simple weekly check-in that helps you reconnect without a huge, exhausting “talk”
What to do when you’re willing to work on the marriage… and your spouse isn’t
How to start praying together if it feels awkward — and why it changes everything

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “Someday we’ll get back to us,” let this be your reminder: don’t wait on your marriage.
