Why Most Marriages Fail—And How to Make Yours Unbreakable
Episode description
In this raw and unfiltered episode of Weaponized Marriage Podcast, hosts Dr. Ryan and Kendra Hewitt take listeners back to where it all began—their lowest moments as a couple. Before they became the powerhouse duo they are today, they were two business owners struggling to survive in their marriage, drowning in miscommunication, misaligned expectations, and unresolved wounds from the past.
From their whirlwind first year of marriage - buying a house, starting a business, and diving headfirst into entrepreneurship - Dr. Ryan and Kendra share how the lack of vision, leadership, and emotional connection almost led them to divorce. Dr. Ryan opens up about his struggles with stepping into the role of a true leader, the dangerous cycle of avoidance, and how fitness became his escape instead of his strength. Kendra reveals how she carried the weight of their business alone, took on the masculine role in the marriage, and found herself emotionally disconnected from the man she had vowed to build a life with.
Their breaking point wasn’t just about the business; it was about the erosion of trust, intimacy, and identity. But this episode isn’t just about the fall - it’s about the rebuild. They share how they clawed their way back, redefined their marriage, and ultimately weaponized their relationship into something stronger than ever before.
