Most arguments in marriage aren't really about the dishes, the budget, or the tone of voice. They're about something deeper. In this episode of the Marriage Altar Podcast, we unpack the truth behind recurring conflict and reveal what's actually happening beneath the surface of your arguments. If you find yourselves having the same fight on repeat, this conversation will help you slow down, identify the real issue, and begin responding from understanding instead of reaction.

We explore why surface disagreements are often symptoms of unmet emotional needs, how to recognize the hidden wounds driving conflict, and how couples can turn moments of tension into opportunities of connection and healing.
