episode 015 Why Insecurity Leads to Anger in Marriage — And How to Break the Cycle cover

Description

Husbands, * Does anger frequently impact your marriage? * When you feel criticized or disrespected, do you respond with peace—or with frustration and anger? * If your job, title, accomplishments, or reputation disappeared tomorrow, would you still know who you are? Have you ever wondered why anger seems to show up so quickly in your marriage, even when you don't want it to? In this episode, Glenn explores the connection between insecurity and anger, showing how fear, frustration, and a shaky sense of identity can lead men to react, control, withdraw, or lash out. Using examples from life and culture, he explains why true security comes from knowing who God says you are rather than building your identity on changing circumstances or the opinions of others. You'll discover powerful biblical truths about your identity in Christ and learn practical ways to replace insecurity with confidence rooted in God's truth. If you want to strengthen your marriage, grow as a leader, and break the cycle of insecurity-driven anger, this episode provides a biblical starting point. * Next Steps: - Step 1: Join a supportive community of like-minded men at my Facebook group Becoming Men Who Lead Well [https://www.facebook.com/groups/778657491344554]. - Step 2: Become an Insider.
