Description
Most wives don’t want a perfect marriage.
They want to feel close again.
They want to feel heard, supported, respected, and emotionally safe — especially when their husband is driven, hardworking, and focused on providing.
The Connected Wife is a podcast for wives who love their husbands but feel distant, confused, or unseen at times. It’s for the wife who wants deeper emotional connection and better conversations — without losing herself or walking on eggshells.
Hosted by Kingsley Grant, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Relationship Coach, and communication expert with over two decades of professional experience and nearly four decades of marriage, this podcast helps wives better understand the heart and inner world of their husbands.
Instead of chasing a “perfect marriage,” this podcast focuses on what actually brings closeness:
- emotional safety
- understanding how men think and respond
- simple, wise ways to communicate
- and faith-based guidance you can use in real life
Each episode blends biblical wisdom, real-life stories, and practical insight to help you become a connected wife — a woman who knows how to bring more peace, warmth, and closeness into the marriage she already has.
If you’re tired of trying harder and ready to connect wiser, The Connected Wife is for you.
