Build Your Happier Marriage
A happy marriage is what every married couple wants. They want to feel loved, supported, heard, respected, and desired.
This does not mean a perfect marriage; a marriage that doesn't have problems.
No!
But it's one where you feel safe, secure, and satisfied. Right? How to get there is the challenge.
And this is where I, Kingsley Grant, come in.
I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Relationship Coach, and Communication Expert, and has been married for almost four decades.
I believe a happier marriage results from you and your spouse committing to creating an emotionally safe space as the starting point and then building toward a happier marriage.
This happier marriage is possible using a scientific and Christian-based healing approach. This may involve marriage counseling, coaching, or live or virtual conferences.
The ultimate goal is to Make Marriages Happier Again. Let's eradicate unhappiness from marriages globally!
Build Your Happier Marriage
BYHM160 | Why Your Husband Emotionally Checks Out
When your husband seems distant, quiet, or emotionally absent, it’s one of the most painful experiences a wife can face.
He’s physically there, but it feels like his heart has left the room.
Why does this happen — and what can you do about it?
In this episode of Build Your Happier Marriage, we unpack the #1 reason husbands emotionally check out of their marriages.
You’ll discover:
- The silent pattern that causes men to shut down even when nothing “big” seems wrong.
- Why disrespect — intentional or unintentional — starves his love and kills attraction.
- How once a man’s emotional door closes, it’s incredibly difficult to reopen.
- The biblical truth about why respect isn’t optional in marriage (Ephesians 5:33).
- What wives of entrepreneurial or career driven husbands can do differently to restore intimacy and rebuild connection.
The truth is, men don’t just “fall out of love.” They shut down when the environment at home feels like another battlefield.
That’s why respect and honor aren’t old-fashioned — they’re oxygen to a man’s heart.
If you’ve ever wondered why your husband seems emotionally unavailable or harder to reach, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening under the surface — and how to shift things in a way that honors God and strengthens your marriage.
