333: How to Stop Being Controlling in Your Marriage

What does it feel like for a husband when control disappears from a marriage? You heard Stella's side of the story a few weeks ago. Today's episode offers a rare glimpse from the other side—her husband's. Elijah opens up about the early years of their marriage, when broken trust, shame, and constant attempts to help him overcome his addiction left them stuck in painful cycles. He shares what it felt like to live under control and how that slowly eroded their connection. Everything began to change when Stella started practicing the Six Intimacy Skills. As she began doing things differently, Elijah experienced renewed confidence, a desire to lead, and a longing to reconnect with his wife. In this episode, Elijah shares what it was like on the other side of Stella's transformation and how her changes helped turn a struggling marriage into one marked by friendship, attraction, and hope.
