How Overcommitting Hurts Christian Marriages

Описание: Many Christian couples struggle not because of conflict, but because of exhaustion. Saying yes too often slowly drains emotional availability, leaving marriage with very little margin. Overcommitment feels faithful, but unchecked, it quietly weakens connection.

Not every yes is harmless.

Here are three ways overcommitting affects marriage and how to guard against it:

1. Overcommitment steals emotional availability

When energy is spent everywhere else, there is little left for presence, patience, and connection at home. Marriage suffers most from chronic fatigue.

2. Decide commitments as a couple, not individually

When one spouse keeps saying yes alone, resentment grows. Unity is protected when decisions are made together with shared awareness.

3. Build rest into your shared rhythm

Rest is not laziness. It is stewardship. Couples who rest together reconnect emotionally and spiritually.

Healthy marriages require margin. This episode will help couples choose wisdom over pressure and protect unity by learning when to say no together.
