437: Why Your Wounds Are On Display in Marriage. Dave & Ann Wilson Unpack The Power of Words to Crush Your Spouse, and How Intimacy Becomes Manipulation

Marriage has a way of exposing the wounds we thought we had buried. The unresolved pain, the unspoken insecurities, the habits we hoped would disappear—they all surface in the crucible of intimacy.

In this final installment of our LOVE LIKE THIS series, Dave & Ann Wilson—hosts of FamilyLife Today® and authors of Vertical Marriage—join us to discuss:

• Why your unhealed wounds inevitably show up in your marriage
• The devastating impact of words and how they can either crush or cultivate your spouse
• How intimacy, when misused, turns into manipulation
• Practical steps to break free from destructive cycles and foster genuine connection

With over four decades of marriage and ministry experience, Dave & Ann offer raw, relatable insights that challenge and inspire. Whether you're newly married or decades in, this conversation will equip you to confront the hidden dynamics that hinder true intimacy.
