Christian couples often hide from hard conversations by saying things like "just trust God" or "let's pray about it." This avoidance, rooted in emotional immaturity and selfishness, starves the marriage of real connection over time.
In Christian marriages, avoidance often hides behind spiritual language. I'm just trusting God. I don't want to cause division, or we should just pray about it. None of those things are bad, but when we're doing it to avoid the hard conversations and avoid reconnecting, this usually is driven by emotional immaturity and selfishness. We would rather protect our own comfort or image than do the hard work of honest engagement. When both spouses avoid, the marriage slowly starves for lack of real connection.
