This episode focuses on the unexpected damages of over-criticizing your partner!

Our words can either build up or tear down our partners, and constant criticism can transform from constructive feedback into relationship poison that leaves lasting damage on both people and their marriage.

• The issue isn't always about the specific complaint (like dishwashers or comforters) but what they represent—feeling disrespected or undervalued
• Criticism often stems from our own insecurities and desire for control when we feel other areas of life are chaotic
• Repeated criticism creates a fight-or-flight response where partners either withdraw emotionally or respond with hostility
• The person being criticized begins questioning their worth with thoughts like "Why did they even choose me?"
• Identifying the root cause of criticism helps address the real issue instead of attacking surface behaviors
• Prayer provides perspective and helps couples remember who the real enemy is (hint: it's not your spouse)
• Breaking cycles of criticism requires daily intentional effort—your edges will get sanded down and your heart will become tender

If you're struggling with criticism in your relationship, reach out to us. This is a daily battle that won't change overnight, but with God's help and consistent effort, you can work through it together.
