AwakenYou in Your Marriage
Looking Back at 10+ Years of Marriage Work: What Actually Changes When You Don’t Give Up
Can a marriage really change after years of struggle and effort?
In this episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage, Christine reflects on more than a decade of inner and relational work and shares what truly shifts when couples stay committed to the long work of healing. This is an honest, hope-filled conversation for anyone who’s been doing the work and wondering if it’s worth it.
Christine explores the seasons most couples move through—from early attempts to fix things, to the lonely middle where growth can feel one-sided, to the quiet transformation that happens over time when inner work reshapes the relationship from the inside out.
If you’re feeling discouraged, tired, or uncertain about your marriage, this episode offers perspective, encouragement, and a gentle invitation to keep going.
