COMMITTED HEARTS

Do You Feel Like You’re Talking to a Wall?

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 04:00:00 +0000

Have you ever tried to talk to your spouse and felt like you were talking to a wall?

Communication is essential in marriage—but simply talking isn’t enough. How you say it, when you say it, your tone, how well you listen, and whether you actually understand how your spouse communicates can completely change the conversation.

In this episode of the Committed Hearts Podcast, William and Donna Porter have a candid conversation about learning how to communicate with the person you married.

They discuss why “we need to talk” can immediately create tension, what happens when one spouse is a talker and the other is more direct, choosing the right time for important conversations, staying on topic instead of bringing up five old problems, listening to understand instead of just waiting to respond, and why unresolved issues shouldn’t be allowed to pile up.

You don’t have to communicate exactly the same way—but you do have to learn how to communicate with each other.

Some conversations will be difficult. Some will be fun. But in a healthy marriage, the conversations are necessary.

Keep your hearts committed. ❤️

You Used to Flirt With Me… What Happened?

Wed, 30 Sep 2026 04:00:00 +0000

Remember when you couldn’t stop flirting with each other?
Before marriage, there were compliments, playful conversations, affection, laughter, and plenty of effort to make each other feel special. But somewhere between work, bills, children, responsibilities, and everyday life, couples can stop doing the very things that helped them fall in love.
In this episode of the Committed Hearts Podcast, William and Donna Porter talk about the three F’s every marriage needs: flirting, flattering, and fun.
They discuss why romance shouldn’t stop after “I do,” learning what makes your spouse feel desired and appreciated, communicating about affection and intimacy, continuing to compliment each other, and why keeping things playful can help prevent your marriage from turning into a roommate situation.
And if the flirting and fun have already disappeared? You can start again.
Your spouse should still feel wanted, chosen, attractive, and special to you.
Flirt. Flatter. Have fun. And keep your hearts committed. ❤️

Stop Making Marriage Decisions Like You’re Still Single

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 04:00:00 +0000

Once you say “I do,” your decisions don’t only affect you anymore.

In this episode of the Committed Hearts Podcast, William and Donna Porter talk about developing an “us” mindset in marriage, understanding that the choices one spouse makes can positively or negatively impact the entire relationship.

They discuss why communication before major decisions matters, what happens when one spouse acts without considering the other, rebuilding trust after a bad decision, forgiveness, taking responsibility, and learning how to move forward together when the consequences affect both of you.

Whether it’s money, work, family, trust, or major life decisions, marriage requires us to stop thinking only in terms of “me” and begin asking, “How will this affect us?”

And when mistakes have already been made, the goal isn’t to stay stuck in blame, it’s to communicate, take responsibility, forgive, rebuild, and decide together what happens next.

Everything is us. ❤️

Keep your hearts committed.

You’re Sitting Right Beside Me… But You’re Not Here

Wed, 16 Sep 2026 04:00:00 +0000

You can be sitting right beside your spouse and still feel completely alone. In this episode of the Committed Hearts Podcast, William and Donna Porter talk about the difference between simply being physically present and being emotionally, mentally, and relationally present in your marriage. They discuss how phones, work, stress, distractions, emotional distance, and unresolved issues can slowly cause spouses to check out of the relationship, even while they’re still living in the same house. You’ll hear why undivided attention matters, how emotional absence can create loneliness and distance, why difficult conversations shouldn’t be avoided, and what couples can do when one person feels like they’re carrying the marriage alone. Being married isn’t just about being in the same room. It’s about continuing to show up for each other. So ask yourself: Are you really here? Keep your hearts committed. ❤️

You’re Not the Same Person I Married

Wed, 09 Sep 2026 06:54:54 +0000

“You’re not the same person I married.”

At some point in almost every marriage, one or both spouses may feel that way. People change emotionally, mentally, physically, financially, spiritually, and professionally—and those changes can affect the entire relationship.

In this episode of the Committed Hearts Podcast, William and Donna Porter talk about what it means to stay committed while your spouse evolves into a different version of the person you originally married.

They discuss emotional changes, career and financial growth, aging, weight changes, physical intimacy, self-esteem, and why couples must learn to adjust to the adjustments instead of expecting each other to stay the same forever.

Marriage isn’t about loving only the version of your spouse you met years ago. It’s about learning how to grow, communicate, adjust, and keep loving each other through every season.

If you’ve ever looked at your spouse and thought, “You’ve changed,” this conversation is for you.

Keep your hearts committed. ❤️

How to Respect Your Spouse When You’re Still Upset

Wed, 02 Sep 2026 04:00:00 +0000

Love matters in marriage, but so does honor.

In this episode of the Committed Hearts Podcast, William and Donna Porter talk about why honor, respect, and order are such important foundations for a healthy marriage.

They discuss what it means to honor your spouse even when you’re frustrated, how dishonor can show up through tone, body language, words, and attitude, and why trying to force your spouse to change often creates even more conflict.

You’ll also hear practical examples of what honor can look like in everyday marriage, from the way you speak to each other to serving, helping, showing consideration, and respecting the role your spouse holds in your life.

If your relationship has been filled with frustration, disrespect, or constant tension, this conversation will challenge you to stop focusing only on changing your spouse and begin asking, “How can I bring more honor into this marriage?”

Honor may be quiet, but it can be one of the most powerful forces in your relationship.

Keep your hearts committed. ❤️

How Do You Forgive Someone You Still Have to Live With?

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 04:37:51 +0000

You said, “I forgive you”… but what happens when the hurt is still there? Forgiveness in marriage isn’t always easy. You can make the decision to forgive your spouse and still have memories, emotions, and triggers that bring the pain right back. So how do you actually move forward without allowing resentment and unforgiveness to damage your marriage? In this episode of Committed Hearts, William and Donna Porter have an open conversation about forgiveness, hurt, grudges, triggers, and what it really means to choose forgiveness—even when your feelings haven’t caught up with your decision. They discuss forgiving your spouse before you feel ready, taking responsibility for your own response, dealing with painful memories after forgiveness, communicating after you’ve been hurt, and why unforgiveness can disrupt the peace, intimacy, and oneness of a marriage. If you love your spouse but you’re still struggling with something they said or did, this conversation is for you. You may remember what happened and still choose forgiveness. The question is: what are you going to do with the memory? Keep your heart committed.

Don’t Let Marriage Cost You Your Best Friend

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 04:00:00 +0000

You can love your spouse and still slowly lose the friendship that brought you together. In this episode of the Committed Hearts Podcast, William and Donna Porter talk about why friendship is one of the most important parts of a healthy marriage—and how easy it is for responsibilities, children, work, ministry, phones, and everyday life to push that friendship to the side. They discuss how to keep dating each other, make time for fun, protect your spouse’s place in your life, reconnect when you feel more like roommates, and continue doing the things that made you enjoy each other in the first place. Marriage is better when you don’t just love your spouse—you actually still like being around them. If you’ve been feeling distant, disconnected, or like you miss the person you used to laugh and have fun with, this episode is for you. Keep your hearts committed. ❤️

Why Are We Tripping? The Marriage Tension Nobody Talks About

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 04:00:00 +0000

Ever feel like something is just off between you and your spouse—even when neither of you can clearly explain why?

In this episode of the Committed Hearts Podcast, William and Donna Porter have an honest conversation about those moments when one or both spouses are “tripping”: bringing home frustration, responding with the wrong tone, creating unnecessary tension, or allowing a small issue to grow into a much bigger problem.

They discuss how to recognize tension early, avoid feeding an argument, give your spouse space without withdrawing, de-escalate conflict, and protect the peace and unity of your marriage.

Sometimes the wisest response isn’t another argument—it’s knowing when to be quiet, pray, give it time, and come back to the conversation when both hearts are ready.

If things have felt tense, distant, or just plain “off” in your relationship lately, this episode may be exactly what you need.

Do You Feel Emotionally Safe With Your Spouse?

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 04:39:35 +0000

Can your spouse trust you with their heart?

Emotional connection is about more than talking every day. It is built through trust, vulnerability, empathy, confidentiality, and knowing that your spouse is a safe place to share what you are truly thinking and feeling.

In this episode of the Committed Hearts Podcast, William and Donna Porter discuss why men and women may express emotions differently, how trust can be damaged when private matters are shared, and why emotional distance can eventually affect communication and physical intimacy.

They also share practical ways to become emotionally connected again, rebuild trust after it has been broken, better understand your spouse’s emotional needs, and create a relationship where both people feel secure, heard, and supported.

Whether you are dating, engaged, newly married, or trying to reconnect after years together, you can begin building a stronger emotional bond today.

The Secret to Staying Close Without Feeling Smothered

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 04:00:00 +0000

Marriage is about unity—but that doesn’t mean losing your individuality. In this episode of Committed Hearts, Donna and William Porter talk about why healthy relationships need both together time and personal time.

I Said “I Do”… But Now I Don’t

Wed, 13 May 2026 06:11:59 +0000

If You Feel Disconnected… This Might Be Why

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 04:00:00 +0000

In this episode of the Committed Hearts Podcast, we talk about a principle that can completely transform your relationship: leaving and cleaving.

Most people think it just means moving out of your parents’ house, but it goes much deeper than that. You can leave physically and still be emotionally, mentally, or even habitually tied to your past.

And that might be the very thing blocking intimacy, connection, and growth in your relationship.

In this conversation, we break down:

Why leaving is more than just physical distance
How outside relationships (family, habits, routines) can affect your marriage
The importance of prioritizing your spouse above everything else
What “cleaving” actually looks like in real life
How to rebuild a connection, even if you don’t feel it right now
Why bonding and intentional time together are essential

Whether you’re newly married, engaged, or years into your relationship… It’s not too late to reset.

💡 Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t finding something new…
It’s finally letting go of what’s holding you back.

💬 Ask yourself: Is there anything I haven’t fully left?
❤️ And as always… keep your hearts committed.
