In this episode of the Weaponized Marriage podcast, Dr. Ryan and Kendra Hewitt dive deep into a concept that is often misunderstood but crucial for building intimacy and trust—holding space.

Through raw, honest conversation and real-life examples, they discuss:
• What it actually means to hold space for your spouse (and what it doesn’t mean)
• The #1 mistake most men make when their wife shares something vulnerable
• How emotional constipation is sabotaging relationships and how to unblock it
• The surprising connection between fighting fair and holding space
• Practical ways to listen without fixing, judging, or getting defensive

Too often, couples bury past traumas, suppress difficult emotions, and avoid the deep conversations that could actually set them free. But what happens when you finally face the dark side of your marriage head-on?
