Episode 197: 3 Hidden Blocks to True Unity in Marriage (And How to Restore the Flow)

In this heartfelt and practical episode, Christine Jewell tackles one of her favorite subjects—creating true unity inside marriage.

She shares three of the most common hidden disruptors that rob couples of connection, intimacy, and flow—and offers simple yet powerful shifts to restore love, lightness, and partnership.

Whether you’re feeling friction inside your marriage, struggling with control, or simply longing to laugh and dream together again, this conversation will open your eyes—and your heart—to what’s possible when unity is restored.

Christine reminds us: when you are unified with Christ and your spouse, life becomes rocket fuel to your purpose. Let’s tear down the blocks and build something unstoppable!

Key Takeaways:

• Trade the Need for Validation for a Spirit of Edification: Shift from seeking approval to being someone who multiplies, encourages, and uplifts your spouse.
• Lay Down the Spirit of Offense and Pick Up Childlike Curiosity: How staying curious—and playful—will protect your heart, safeguard your relationships, and create more laughter and intimacy.
• Exchange Controlling Tendencies for Flexibility and Trust: Recognize how anxiety and perfectionism shut down the flow—and how bending like a palm tree invites peace, partnership, and miracles.
• The Power of Awareness: True unity starts by recognizing and removing the dams blocking the rivers of love, joy, and shared vision in your home.

Notable Quotes:

• "Where there's a spirit of offense, there's always a setup to be manipulated, baited, and exhausted fighting the wrong battles."
• "Validation seeks to take; edification seeks to build and bless."
• "When we exchange control for flexibility, we create space for new life, new dreams, and new possibilities to flourish again."
• "Unity in marriage is rocket fuel to your destiny."
