277: Why Should I Stay Married? The REAL Reason (Not What You Think)
In today’s episode of What to Say and How to Say It, Shy Lewis and Nina Roesner dive deep into one of the most difficult questions Christian husbands and wives ask: 👉 “Why should I stay married?” After the pain… After the disappointment… After the loneliness… After the hope starts to fade… Is staying still worth it? You might be thinking: “I’m unhappy.” “We only stay together for the kids.” “I don’t want to be alone.” “We have a ministry/business together.” “Leaving would ruin my reputation.” “I don’t feel anything anymore.” In this brutally honest and hope-filled conversation, Shai and Nina unpack the real reason to stay in a marriage — and it’s deeper, truer, and more transformative than lifestyle, kids, fear, or even happiness. They also tackle: Staying for the wrong reasons Why unhappiness isn’t a sign to give up The trap of “I don’t want to be alone” How kids are affected by conflict vs. divorce Reputation, ministry, and fear of man What God actually says about marriage Why covenant still matters today The power of gratitude, growth, and spiritual maturity How God can restore even the most broken stories If you're feeling lost, discouraged, or unsure whether to stay or go, this conversation may give you the clarity and hope you’ve been praying for. ⭐ FREE RESOURCES Download Five Tools to Stop Walking on Eggshells Take our Free Marriage Assessment Visit: greaterimpactwise.org You are not alone.
