Are You Growing Apart? How to Save Your Marriage Before It’s Too Late
Episode description
In this episode of Weaponized Marriage, hosts Kendra and Dr. Ryan Hewitt tackle a question that many couples face—what happens when one person in the relationship starts growing, but the other doesn’t? Is it possible to maintain connection when priorities shift, fitness journeys begin, or one spouse pursues personal development while the other stays the same?
With candid conversation and real-life examples, Kendra and Dr. Ryan dive into the reality of how relationships evolve. They share personal insights, including how Dr. Ryan’s bodybuilding competition initially created tension but ultimately became an opportunity for deeper connection. They also explore how personal transformation—whether in health, faith, business, or mindset—can either bring a couple closer or drive them apart.
Key Takeaways:
• Growth in marriage is inevitable; you either grow together or grow apart.
• Resisting a partner’s evolution can create tension, but reframing it as inspiration fosters unity.
• Competitiveness in relationships can be playful, but when unchecked, it can lead to division.
• Shared values are the foundation of a strong marriage, even if visions evolve over time.
• You can’t force your spouse to change, but you can invite them to rise with you.
If you’ve ever struggled with feeling like you’re growing in a different direction than your spouse, this episode will give you the clarity and practical steps to strengthen your relationship.
