Don't Burn Your Own House Down Kristen Maesta Ep. 711

Описание: In today’s nonstop, always-on world, most marriages don’t fall apart from one big explosion—they slowly burn from the inside out. Neglected conversations, unresolved resentment, emotional distance, constant distraction. The small flames we ignore eventually become the fire that takes everything down.

In this episode, we confront a hard truth: healthy marriages don’t survive on good intentions—they survive on intentional action. We talk honestly about how couples unintentionally sabotage their relationship, why “nothing’s really wrong” is often the most dangerous place to be, and how modern habits like busyness, phones, and unspoken expectations quietly erode intimacy.

You’ll hear:
• Why marriages usually fail long before anyone talks about divorce
• What the “small flames” actually look like in real life
• How phones, silence, and emotional neglect create distance
• Why behavior change without heart change doesn’t last
• The danger of scorekeeping, resentment, and unmet expectations
• How couples can rebuild connection before it’s too late
• Practical ways to protect your marriage instead of slowly burning it down

This isn’t about perfection or pretending things are fine. It’s about awareness, responsibility, and choosing to fight for your covenant before the damage becomes irreversible.

If your marriage feels tense, distant, or quietly exhausting, this conversation may be the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.

🎧 Listen, reflect, and ask yourself: what small flames need to be put out—now?
