🎙 EP 32 — Stop Playing Victim: Why Victim Mentality Is Poison to Marriage

Victim mentality is one of the most destructive forces in marriage — and most couples don’t even realize they’re trapped in it.

In this episode of Married with the Mugicas, Richard and Hailey break down why playing the victim kills intimacy, leadership, trust, and growth, and how culture subtly trains us to avoid responsibility while Scripture calls us to ownership.

If you’ve ever thought:

“If my spouse would just change…”

“I wouldn’t react like this if they didn’t do that…”

“I’m trying, but they’re the problem…”

This episode will challenge you — in the best way.

You’ll learn why ownership restores power, why blame keeps you stuck, and how choosing responsibility can completely transform your marriage dynamic.

This conversation is raw, biblical, practical, and necessary for couples who want to stop drifting and start thriving.

🔥 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why victim mentality feels justified but destroys connection
• How blame removes your power to fix the marriage
• The biblical standard for ownership in marriage
• Why leadership begins with responsibility, not control
• How to stop reacting and start leading with clarity
• The mindset shift that unlocks healing and intimacy
