Are you a Christian wife feeling alone in your marriage? Struggling to communicate in your marriage? Feeling disconnected, or stuck in the same fights and resentment in your marriage? Yeah, that was me too.
Marriage may feel hard right now, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. You may feel completely disconnected and withdrawn, but being UNITED is possible for your marriage!
I was married at 18, after having a baby, and had no family support while I navigated it all. Yet, as a young wife, I was still able to go from constant arguing, crying, and pain to thriving in my marriage.
How? Well, this podcast is all about the first step on the journey, which is unifying your marriage. To do that, connected Christian couples (aka the two people who make up a ”United Marriage”) need to know how to communicate.
In this podcast, I will walk you through the biblical design for marriage, teach you how to be a biblical wife, and bring my husband on occasionally so you can grab your husband and have a moment to be united as you listen to the show and grow together.
→ Welcome to The United Christian Marriage Podcast, where we teach you how to truly become ONE in your marriage. We talk about real issues that are keeping you feeling lonely, divided, and resentful in your marriage. And, we give you practical steps to overcome them so you can have the United Marriage of your dreams.
You know, the kind of marriage where you can’t wait to be with your spouse, and you both light up when you are in the same room!
We do this by teaching self-coaching (communication) tools, biblical wisdom, and our real-life experience on how you can grow yourself as a person, a wife, and make a real impact on your marriage.
Hi, I’m Micaiah, a Christian (trauma-informed) marriage coach who helps Christian couples (especially Christian wives) communicate efficiently, so they can stop arguing and start falling in love with each other again. I am also a certified life coach through the Mind Firm Method by The Coach Firm!
Whether you’re asking “Is this normal?” or searching for marriage help, biblical marriage advice, or solutions for fighting with your spouse, you’re in the right place.
Here, we get practical about:
✅ How to communicate in your marriage
✅ Setting boundaries that protect your marriage & family
✅ Navigating different ideas & expectations with your spouse
✅ Healing trauma & breaking generational cycles

✅ Overcoming anxiety, technology addiction, and stress in marriage
