Being An Independent Woman: A Blessing & A Curse

In this eye-opening episode of Marriage Mondays with The Kings, we explore the roots of the “independent woman” mindset and how it has been passed down through generations. What began as survival training for grandmothers and great-grandmothers—who faced limited rights, financial dependence, and fewer opportunities—was necessary for their time. But many women today are still living from that same survival mindset, even though we now have more access, support, and opportunity to thrive.


We discuss how young girls are often taught how to protect themselves and prepare to stand alone, yet later are told to “be submissive” in relationships without being taught how to truly partner, trust, build together, or receive support. That early seed of doubt can quietly show up in marriage as emotional walls, over-independence, and difficulty fully relaxing in love.


This episode also shines light on the hidden burden many strong women carry—being the fixer, the provider, and the one everyone leans on—while rarely having a safe place to fall apart themselves.


This conversation is not about blame. It’s about awareness, healing, and learning how to honor the strength of the women before us while choosing connection over constant protection in our marriages today.
