“Am I in a Toxic Marriage? Understanding God’s Design, Your Worth, and Your Calling”

In this episode of The Worthy Wife, we talk about one of the most tender and confusing questions a Christian wife can face:

“Am I in a toxic marriage?”

If you’ve been feeling unsure, walking on eggshells, or questioning whether what you’re experiencing is “normal conflict” or something deeper — this conversation is for you.

We explore:

✨ God’s original design for women as equal, purposeful partners

You were created as an ezer kenegdo — a strong, equal companion. A marriage that consistently diminishes your voice is out of alignment with God’s intent.

✨ What toxicity actually looks like in a marriage

Not just conflict, but patterns of disrespect, emotional imbalance, control, manipulation, and a lack of emotional or spiritual safety.

✨ The internal warning signs wives often overlook

Feeling smaller, losing joy, questioning your own reality, or sensing God gently drawing your attention to something you’ve minimized.

✨ The Christian pressure that keeps many wives silent

Submission does not mean disappearing. Jesus never asked you to carry the weight of someone else’s sin.

✨ How to discern God’s voice and recognize patterns

We talk about the role of peace, fruit, your body’s signals, and spiritual clarity.

✨ Practical steps for wives seeking clarity

From journaling to praying for discernment, to connecting with safe support.

You Are Not Alone

You are not too sensitive.

You are not imagining things.

And you are not dishonoring God by seeking clarity.
