The “Me First” Marriage Killer

Selfishness, often disguised as legitimate needs or expectations, can quietly creep in and destroy a marriage from the inside out. Join Rusty and Heather Bryant on the Redeemed Marriage Podcast for the latest episode in their “Marriage Killers” series as they tackle this common but devastating issue.

They get brutally honest about the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways selfishness manifests – from unrealistic expectations and entitlement (“make me happy!”) to poor communication and a lack of genuine sacrifice.

Heather shares her personal struggles and vulnerability with this very issue, revealing how focusing solely on your own happiness can lead to marital breakdown and hurt.

Discover why wanting your spouse to fulfill your desires isn’t enough, and how this mindset can erode trust and intimacy. Learn why shifting focus from receiving to giving, practicing true selflessness, and recognizing the importance of serving your partner are crucial steps toward building a healthier, stronger, and truly redeemed marriage, even when it feels difficult.
