In this deeply personal and unfiltered episode of Breaking Chains, Christine Jewell exposes the hidden cracks that destroy intimacy and connection in marriage—starting with our tendency to hide behind half-truths, guilt, and shame. She calls out the deception we often live in, why transparency is essential for true union, and how the restoration of marriage begins with radical ownership and humility. Christine shares raw moments from her past—unhealed trauma, unhealthy patterns, and the generational pain she carried—and how God broke her open to rebuild her from the inside out. If you're struggling in your relationship, or feel disconnected and stuck in cycles that no longer serve you, this conversation is your invitation to choose courage, truth, and breakthrough. Key Takeaways:🔎 Hiding Kills Intimacy If you're operating with half-truths and secrets, you're robbing your marriage of trust, depth, and power. True oneness requires full exposure and vulnerability. 💔 Generational Patterns Must Die We carry what we saw—how mom treated dad, how dad treated mom. Until we choose differently, we’ll keep replaying the past in our relationships. 💥 Leaders Go First Stop waiting for your spouse to initiate the healing. Be the one to lead with presence, forgiveness, and love. Initiation is strategy. 👑 God Rebuilds From the Rubble The moment you surrender your way and get in alignment with divine order, everything begins to shift. What feels like destruction is often the beginning of restoration. 🔥 You Don’t Need to Be Perfect—Just Present Marriage isn’t about getting it all right. It’s about being fully present, all in, and anchored in truth. The greatest intimacy is birthed in honesty. Notable Quotes:“There can be nothing hidden in perfect union. Transparency is the foundation of intimacy.” — Christine Jewell “Leaders go first. Initiate the healing, the date night, the conversation. Stop waiting.” “I was using my light to manipulate, not honor. That’s not love—it’s control.” “God is a God of order. And when we build His way, there’s favor, flow, and multiplication.” “Your old dynamic has to die. You don’t need a new marriage. You need a new foundation.” This Episode Is for You If:You feel disconnected in your marriage and want real restorationYou’re tired of surface-level fixes and want to address root issuesYou’re carrying shame, guilt, or resentment from your pastYou want to rebuild your relationship on truth, not traumaYou’re ready to do things differently—and lead with love, not fear 🔹 Apply now and learn more about the Breakthrough Experience here! https://www.thechristinejewell.com/application-work-with-me —-- 📖 Grab the free Communication Cheat Sheet for instant ways to deepen connection → https://www.thechristinejewell.com/communication-cheat-sheet 🎧 Enroll in the Relationship Mastery Course to build a thriving, God-centered marriage → https://www.thechristinejewell.com/offers/32xFSo6T ⮕ Get the Book Drop the Armor!
