Why You and Your Spouse Don’t Speak the Same Language
Manage episode 502617579 series 3681922
Every marriage runs on an invisible dictionary. You and your spouse might use the same words—love, respect, time, intimacy—but those words don’t mean the same thing to both of you.
Until you align your definitions, you’ll keep talking past each other instead of with each other. In this episode of Forged Through Fire, we dive into the hidden reason so many couples fight, and how to bring biblical clarity back into your marriage.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why you and your spouse don’t “speak the same language” in marriage
- How simple words like love, intimacy, and respect can cause years of conflict if left undefined
- The one conversation that can begin to break down walls of resentment in your home
- How to apply 1 Corinthians 13:4–8 (ESV) to your marriage: “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.”
- Why Ephesians 6:12 (ESV) changes how you view conflict with your spouse: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
- Practical steps to sit down with your spouse, list your most common “fight words,” and redefine them together so you build connection instead of walls
Why This Matters for Men:
Husbands, you are called to lead. But too many men today feel distant from God, disconnected from their wives, and like their kids are only getting the leftovers of their energy. That cycle doesn’t stop until you reclaim God’s design for your role.
When you understand your wife, when you speak the same language, and when you apply God’s Word as the standard—you stop fighting battles in your home and start fighting for your home.
Next Steps:
If God feels distant, if your wife feels last, and if your kids are only getting what’s left of you, it’s time to take action.
