In Part 1 of this four part series, Emerson examines the often unspoken struggles that can erode even the most cherished marriages. Addressing the profound pain and disappointment felt by many spouses, he unpacks the concept of “hardness of heart” as it pertains to marriage, exploring how unresolved conflicts and self-protective walls can replace the intimacy God designed for couples. This episode invites listeners to find hope and practical steps to soften hearts and restore connection, even in the face of longstanding hurt.
