Casting The Net - Reeling In Holistic Health

When Love Feels Heavy Why Your Marriage Feels Like a Battle Instead of a Bond

Martha Rice Season 2 Episode 81

When your marriage is in trouble, it rarely starts with one big blowup.
It starts with silence. Avoided conversations. Unspoken expectations.
“We never fight” becomes the red flag nobody wants to name.

This episode on Casting the Net, I’m sitting down with my longtime friend and former classmate, Dr. Lucy Rickspoone, licensed clinical psychologist and licensed marriage and family therapist.

We talk about:

Why distance, not conflict, is often the real danger in relationships

How childhood emotional neglect shapes your attachment style

The cost of “fighting dirty” and using divorce as a weapon

Why premarital counseling is a crucial investment

How unmet childhood needs quietly drive reactions in marriage

If you’ve ever felt like you and your spouse are living parallel lives, this episode is for you.
