Emotional Intimacy & Husbands’ Understanding - Why So Many Wives Feel Alone in Their Closest Relationships

“To a wife, the emotional intimacy she craves is having her husband be her best friend… someone who loves to talk with her about everything.”

— Barbara Rosberg, Every Woman’s Desire

Marriage is meant to be one of the deepest forms of connection. Yet, alarmingly, a large body of evidence suggests that many women in marriage feel emotionally disconnected. Two powerful statistics:

84% of women feel they don’t have emotional intimacy (oneness) in their marriages.

83% of women feel that their husbands don’t know the basic needs of a woman for emotional intimacy, or how to meet them.

What Do These Statistics Reveal?

They show that it isn’t just about one bad conversation or one rough patch. Many women feel a consistent gap in:

Emotional understanding: feeling heard, understood without needing to explain every time

Availability: having their husband present emotionally—sharing fears, hopes, disappointments

Vulnerability and reciprocity: being able to open up, and trusting that what’s shared is received without judgment or dismissing

Closeness and oneness: not just living together, but feeling like you share a heart (or lives) deeply

When these aren't met, the result is often loneliness in what should be the safest relationship, dissatisfaction, sometimes even emotional distress.

Why The Disconnect Happens

Here are some of the reasons found in our research & relationship counseling practice that help explain the huge gap between what many women feel and what many husbands seem aware of:

1. Different emotional wiring & socialization

From early life, men are often taught to solve, to be strong, to fix, not necessarily to feel or to express vulnerability. Women are often encouraged to talk, to share, to sense emotions. This mismatch sets the stage for misunderstandings. Husband may not even know how to express, or may think their way of showing love suffices.

2. Lack of skills or vocabulary for emotional intimacy

It’s one thing to want closeness, another to know how to build it. Listening well, responding empathetically, asking “How was your day

Why Two-Thirds of Divorces Are Initiated by Women – A Biblical Reflection

Recent studies reveal that nearly two-thirds of divorces are initiated by women. While this is a sobering statistic, it also raises deeper questions: Why is this happening? And more importantly, what does God’s Word say about it?

Why Are Women Initiating Divorce?

1. Emotional Neglect and Lack of Leadership
Many women feel emotionally unseen or unsupported in their marriages. When men fail to take up their God-given role of servant leadership (Ephesians 5:25), frustration grows, and women may feel that leaving is their only option.

2. Cultural Shifts and Feminism
Modern culture often encourages women to “choose self over sacrifice.” While there is nothing wrong with self-care, the Bible reminds us that marriage is a covenant, not a contract (Malachi 2:14–16). The world celebrates independence, but God calls us to oneness (Genesis 2:24).

3. Unresolved Conflict and Silence
Instead of addressing challenges in a biblical way, many couples allow bitterness to take root (Hebrews 12:15). Lack of communication and forgiveness creates cracks that eventually break the covenant bond.

Why This Is Not Good for God’s Plan

God designed marriage as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman that reflects Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:31–32). Divorce was never His original plan; Jesus Himself said, “What God has joined together, let no one separate” (Mark 10:9).

When divorce becomes common, especially initiated at such high rates, it disrupts families, leaves children vulnerable, and weakens the witness of Christian marriages in society. Satan thrives in division, but God desires unity and reconciliation.

A Call Back to God’s Design

Instead of giving up on marriage, couples are called to:

Seek God first in their relationship (Matthew 6:33).

Practice forgiveness and humility (Colossians 3:13).

Uphold covenant love, mirroring Christ’s sacrificial love for His bride, the Church.

Divorce statistics should not discourage us but remind us of the urgent need to return to God’s blueprint for marriage—a covenant rooted in love, service, and perseverance.

Red Flags & Green Flags in a Potential Spouse : A Christian, Practical Guide for Men and Women

At Come Broken, we believe marriage is a sacred covenant woven by God's grace (Ephesians 5:31–33).

Ladies, Let’s Talk Real Marriage Questions

One of the biggest and most controversial questions in relationships today is this:

Would you marry a man who earns significantly less than you?

In today’s world, women are excelling in education, careers, and business at incredible levels. But when it comes to marriage, finances often become a sensitive topic. For some, money represents security and stability. For others, love, character, and shared values matter far more than income levels.

The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 19:14 that “houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.” This shifts the focus from material wealth to godly wisdom and character.

But the question remains—how much weight should income differences carry when making such a life-changing decision?

We’d love to hear from you!

Would you be comfortable leading financially in marriage?

Do you believe money should play a major role in choosing a husband?

Or is love and faith in God the greater foundation?

Adults with a history of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are over twice as likely to experience marital disruption, including divorce, compared to those without ACEs.

• A large study published in the Journal of Family Psychology found that individuals with 4 or more ACEs were 2.7 times more likely to experience divorce than those with no ACEs.
• Childhood trauma has been shown to affect trust, attachment styles, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution in marriage, leading to higher levels of marital distress.

Biblical reflection: Proverbs 22:6 reminds us, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”

When trauma disrupts this foundation, healing through Christ and intentional support in marriage and parenting becomes essential.

The Biggest Mistakes Singles Make While Waiting for Marriage

By www.comebroken.co.uk

Singleness in today’s world is both celebrated and criticized. On one hand, digital dating platforms give instant access to potential partners. On the other, social media feeds are filled with “perfect” couples, often leaving singles feeling left behind. The cultural pressure is real, and it can lead to mistakes that affect one’s readiness for marriage.

But for Christians, singleness is not wasted time—it is a sacred season designed by God to deepen our faith, shape our character, and prepare us for a Christ-centered relationship. The Bible reminds us:

> “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.” (Psalm 37:23)

As you wait, the choices you make matter. Here are the biggest mistakes singles often make, and how to avoid them.

1. Idolizing Singleness (or Marriage) Over Christ

Some allow singleness or marriage to become an idol. When marriage is pursued above God, it becomes a stumbling block.

> “You shall have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:3)

Keep Christ at the center, not the desire for a spouse.

2. Neglecting Growth During the Waiting

Too many singles wait passively instead of using this season for personal and spiritual growth. The waiting season is preparation, not punishment.

> “Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength.” (Isaiah 40:31)

Invest in prayer, study, and personal development now.

The Hidden Battleground : Why So Many Marriages are Breaking in 2025 - And How Divorcees can Rebuild Love Anew

Even in 2025, the major causes of divorce remain familiar—financial pressures, infidelity, lack of communication, abuse, and emotional disconnection. The pressures of modern life—rising living costs, technology-driven distractions, and shifting cultural values—only intensify these struggles.

But at the root, the absence of God’s presence in the marriage is the greatest cause of breakdown. When couples drift from prayer, biblical principles, and sacrificial love, the relationship becomes vulnerable.

“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” — Psalm 127:1

Marriages fall apart when they are built on personal desires, materialism, or convenience, instead of on Christ, who is the true foundation.

The Struggles Divorcees Face Today

Divorce does not only end a marriage; it often shatters confidence, faith, and trust. Many divorcees carry:

Emotional wounds: Feelings of shame, rejection, or failure.

Spiritual battles: Guilt, unforgiveness, and fear of repeating the past.

Practical challenges: Raising children alone, financial instability, or finding companionship again.

Dating struggles: Fear of trusting someone new, pressure from society, or anxiety about making the same mistakes.

Yet, God promises that brokenness is never the end of the story.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3

What does a Narcissistic Wife look like?
Marriage is designed by God to be a union of love, humility, and service between husband and wife. Yet, when pride and self-centeredness take root, a wife can become emotionally destructive—mirroring the traits of narcissism. While much attention is given to narcissistic men, the reality is that narcissistic wives also exist, and their presence can slowly break down the very fabric of marriage.

At ComeBroken.co.uk, we believe in exposing these truths with compassion and offering biblical hope for restoration.

Biological and Psychological Traits of a Narcissistic Wife
Psychologically, narcissism in women is often expressed differently than in men. While a narcissistic husband may dominate through power, a narcissistic wife often manipulates through emotional control. Her traits may include:

Constant need for attention and validation – She wants to be admired for her looks, status, or achievements.

Emotional manipulation – Using guilt, silent treatment, or tears to control her husband.

Lack of empathy – Insensitive to her husband’s struggles, viewing him only as a means to her own happiness.

Vanity and comparison – Consumed with appearances, material possessions, or competing with other women.

Biologically, women naturally have higher estrogen levels, which influence emotional expression. When misused, this heightened sensitivity can turn into emotional weaponry—using feelings, moods, and emotional pressure to gain power.

The Bible reminds us:

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” (Proverbs 31:30)
A narcissistic wife, however, often values charm and appearance above humility and godliness.

What does a Narcissistic Husband Look Like?
Marriage is meant to be a safe haven—a reflection of God’s love, unity, and sacrifice. Yet for many women, the reality is very different. Instead of tenderness, they encounter pride, control, and emotional abuse at the hands of a narcissistic husband.

At ComeBroken.co.uk, we believe in bringing these hidden struggles into the light and offering hope, healing, and biblical truth.

What Does a Narcissistic
Husband Look Like?
Psychologically, a narcissistic husband often shows traits such as:

Constant need for admiration – He thrives on being praised but rarely affirms his wife.

Lack of empathy – Her emotions are dismissed or belittled.

Domineering presence – He wants conversations, decisions, and even prayers to revolve around him.

Manipulation – Sometimes through charm, sometimes through anger or silent withdrawal.

Biologically, men naturally carry higher testosterone, linked to competitiveness and dominance. But without spiritual maturity and emotional balance, these God-given traits can turn into arrogance and self-centeredness.

The Bible warns:

“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18)

Infidelity is a painful reality that affects many marriages today. For Christians, the sanctity of marriage is rooted in biblical teachings that emphasize commitment, love, and fidelity. However, understanding why men cheat can provide insight into the deeper issues within a relationship and offer pathways to healing and restoration.

Reasons Why Men Cheat

1. **Emotional Disconnect**: Many men cheat because they feel emotionally disconnected from their wives. This detachment may stem from unresolved conflicts, lack of communication, or unmet emotional needs. In a marriage, it is crucial for both partners to engage in open and honest conversations, fostering a deep emotional connection.

2. **Desire for Validation**: Some men seek validation outside their marriage. They may feel inadequate or unappreciated at home and look for affirmation from others. This desire for validation can lead to a search for intimacy that should be found within the marriage.

3. **Opportunity**: Sometimes, infidelity occurs simply because the opportunity presents itself. In today’s world, where social media and online interactions are prevalent, men may find themselves in situations that tempt them away from their commitment.

4. **Unresolved Issues**: Personal issues such as low self-esteem, past traumas, or addiction can contribute to a man’s decision to cheat. Without addressing these underlying issues, some may look for escape or affirmation through extramarital affairs.

5. **Cultural Influences**: The culture we live in often trivializes fidelity and promotes a casual view of relationships. Men may feel societal pressure to engage in affairs, believing it enhances their masculinity or status.
