When you’re the only one invested in improving your marriage, it’s easy to feel lonely, frustrated, and discouraged. In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Dr. Alexandra Stockwell responds to a listener’s heartfelt question about what happens when one partner is eager to grow while the other seems resistant.

Through personal stories, coaching insights, and compassionate guidance, Alexandra shares how choosing your own growth can positively transform your marriage—even if your partner isn’t ready to join you yet.
