Why do some arguments seem to explode over something small?

In this episode of Marriage Sessions, we share why most marriage conflict isn't actually about the issue you're arguing over. More often than not, there's something deeper happening beneath the surface.

Using a personal story about a disagreement over a garage door left open, we unpack how old wounds, fears, and deeply rooted lies can shape our reactions and create conflict in marriage.

One of the most powerful lessons we've learned is that when we identify the lie underneath the argument, we stop fighting each other and start fighting the real problem together. Whether you're navigating frequent conflict or simply want to build a healthier marriage, this conversation will give you practical tools to communicate with greater understanding, grace, and connection.

Whether you're newly married or have been together for decades, this conversation will help you move beyond surface-level communication and build a stronger emotional connection with your spouse.
