Is Your Childhood Ruining Your Marriage?
Your childhood may be affecting your marriage more than you realize.
The way you handle conflict, intimacy, communication, trust, affection, and even stress may have less to do with your spouse… and more to do with what you experienced growing up.
In this episode of Greater Marriage, we talk about the invisible patterns many of us carry into marriage without even knowing it. The things we saw, heard, normalized, feared, survived, or learned as children often become the foundation for how we love as adults.
But here’s the good news: you are not doomed to repeat unhealthy cycles.
God brings healing, renewal, and hope to the places that shaped us most deeply.
This conversation is honest, practical, Biblical, and one that every married couple needs to hear.

Dustyn and Heather Miller are the voices behind the Greater Marriage Podcast. With a combined 25+ years of ministry experience, they have dedicated their lives to serving others and strengthening marriages.
Dustyn, a Bible school graduate, jumped into full-time ministry immediately after completing his studies. His heart for people and commitment to God's calling have driven him to serve in various leadership capacities over the years. Heather, after earning her degree in business, also entered full-time ministry, where she and Dustyn worked side-by-side in youth and children’s ministries for more than a decade. Today, they lead a thriving Young Marrieds ministry at their local church, where they are passionate about helping couples build strong, lasting relationships.
Married for 12 years and the parents of three children, Dustyn and Heather's marriage is a testament to the power of God's grace. Heather's journey is also marked by resilience—having been widowed before marrying Dustyn, she brings a unique perspective on healing, restoration, and the redemptive power of God. Their greatest joy is seeing marriages restored, strengthened, and thriving.
Through their podcast, they offer practical advice, biblical wisdom, and heartfelt encouragement to couples at every stage of marriage. They believe that every marriage can be greater, no matter the challenges, and they are on a mission to inspire couples to pursue God's best for their relationships.
