Jun 200:52:47Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailSometimes the biggest struggle in love is not the relationship itself — it is the brokenness we carry into it.In this powerful episode of Marriage Mondays with The Kings, we are tackling the hidden wounds that can affect how we love, communicate, trust, forgive, and show up in our relationships, marriages, families, and even within ourselves. Past hurt, divorce, childhood wounds, betrayal, trauma, disappointment, and unresolved pain can all shape the way we give and receive love.The truth is, brokenness does not have to become your permanent address. You do not have to keep living from a place of pain, shutting people out, sabotaging healthy love, or carrying wounds that God never intended for you to carry forever.Healing takes honesty. Healing takes work. Healing takes courage. But when we are willing to face what is hurting us, we can begin to see ourselves, our relationships, our marriage, and our family in a healthier and more whole way.Listen in as The Kings have an honest and heartfelt conversation about emotional healing, relationship struggles, marriage challenges, trauma, past pain, and the journey toward becoming whole enough to love and be loved.Blessings!Support the show
