💔 Can marriage problems cause depression? The answer is yes — and it happens more often than many couples realize. When disconnection, constant arguments, or even silence go unresolved, the emotional weight doesn’t just strain the relationship… it can quietly erode your mental health. But here’s the hope: your marriage can also become a source of healing. In this Marriage Builder Sunday episode of the Simplified Uplifters Marriage Mastery Podcast, Ron Simplified Myers unpacks: ✅ The hidden impact of marital stress on mental health. ✅ Warning signs that relationship strain is fueling depression. ✅ Tools and rituals (SAFE Model + check-ins) to rebuild safety and connection. ✅ Practical couple strategies like affection before screens, weekly resets, and small repair rituals. ✅ A guided reflection + couples exercise to restore closeness this week. Through real-life examples of Simone & Caleb, you’ll see how unspoken needs and avoidance create distance — and how small, intentional changes can reignite trust, intimacy, and joy. ✨ Remember: Marriage problems don’t have to end in despair. With the right tools, they can become the doorway to deeper connection. 🔑 Key Takeaways Marriage can wound, but it can also be medicine. Intimacy isn’t built on perfection — it’s built on presence.
