Letting Your Man Lead: The Hidden Dynamics of Marriage Polarity
Episode description
Many women carry silent resentment in marriage, not because they want control, but because they’ve had to take it. In this episode of The Weaponized Marriage, Dr. Ryan and Kendra Hewitt unpack a viral Instagram post that ignited deep conversation around polarity, leadership, resentment, and emotional safety in relationships.
They explore why so many women feel exhausted, unseen, and emotionally starved, and how men can unintentionally contribute to their wives' disconnection, not through malice, but by abdicating leadership in key areas like emotional presence, household dynamics, and communication. This episode doesn’t just diagnose the problem, it offers insight into how couples can rebuild trust, shift roles, and co-create a vision for their marriage.
Key Takeaways:
Emotional neglect can show up in subtle but destructive ways, often mistaken for disinterest or burnout.
Men must take ownership of leadership in faith, family, fitness, and finances to create safety and polarity.
Women often don't want to lead, they're just tired of doing it alone.
Simple, consistent actions, not grand gestures, build connection and trust.
