Every couple at some point in their marriage will experience some form of selfishness. In this episode of The Favorite Marriage Podcast Monty & Jeannine ask a question every spouse has asked - \"Why is my spouse so selfish?\" Every couple encounters it at some point, and when it shows up, it can quietly erode connection, trust, and intimacy. Monty and Jeannine unpack three common root causes of selfishness in marriage : Distorted expectations – when our assumptions about marriage don’t match reality. Hidden resentment – when unresolved hurt begins shaping our behavior. Parental modeling – when the patterns we witnessed growing up influence how we treat our spouse. But the conversation doesn’t stop with the problem. They also share the powerful antidote to selfishness: Agape love —the kind of selfless, sacrificial love that strengthens marriages and reflects God’s design. If selfishness has ever crept into your relationship (and it has for all of us), this episode will give you practical insight and biblical encouragement to help you move from self-centered living to Christ-centered loving. 🔗 Subscribe, share, and leave a review if you enjoy this episode, and don't forget to follow The Favorite Marriage Podcast for weekly relationship insights that are real, fun, and deeply helpful.
