Trauma in a marriage relationship often leads to triggers- those unwanted thoughts, places, things, and people that cause us to relapse into the traumatic world we left behind. If you and your spouse are struggling with moving beyond the pain of the past, you will need to work through the triggers that plague you both.

In this episode, Michael and Shana share their conversational approach to dealing with triggers In healthy ways and learning how to move beyond the trap of living in the past.

Let’s be honest — there are days when praying together as a couple feels more like a chore than a sacred connection. Maybe there’s tension between you, disappointment with God, or just plain exhaustion. In this episode, we’re talking about what to do when you don’t feel like praying together — and why doing it anyway can be one of the most powerful decisions you make for your marriage.

You’ll hear practical encouragement, relatable stories, and a fresh perspective on spiritual intimacy — especially in the moments you least want to pursue it.
