    3 Signs of Unhealthy Communication in Your Marriage

    Enjoy the episode? Send us a text! Are you noticing patterns in the way you and your spouse talk to each other that leave you feeling distant, frustrated, or unheard? In this video, we’ll unpack 3 signs of unhealthy communication in your marriage—and what you can do to stop them before they cause lasting damage. Drawing from leading research and years of experience at Marriage Helper, we’ll walk through:  ✅ Disrespectful communication—why criticism, belittling, or eye-rolling can erode trust. ✅ Avoidance and isolation—why “never fighting” isn’t healthy and how conflict can actually build intimacy. ✅ Jokes at your spouse’s expense—how sarcasm and mockery damage closeness and connection. If you’ve wondered whether the way you communicate is creating distance instead of closeness, this video will give you the clarity you need. You’ll also learn practical steps to replace unhealthy patterns with healthier, more loving ways of talking with your spouse. At Marriage Helper, we believe communication can either tear a marriage apart—or transform it into something stronger than ever before.
