In this episode, Nick and Haley explore why emotional hurt is normal, how pride and defensiveness can deepen wounds, and how God's grace empowers us to take ownership, extend compassion, and build a healthier, more connected marriage.
Discover why acknowledging your spouse's hurt is essential—and how responding differently can change the way you navigate conflict together.
