What if most of what you worry about in your marriage never actually happens?
A study cited by Cornell University found that 85% of the things people worry about never happen. And of the remaining 15% that do, nearly 80% of people say the situation was easier to handle than expected or led to valuable growth.
In Episode 276 of The Family Meeting Podcast, Thomas and Lysandra apply this research directly to marriage, where worry often shows up as fear, control, assumptions, and emotional distance.
You’ll learn:
- How worry quietly erodes trust and connection in marriage.
- Why fear-based thinking leads to control, withdrawal, or conflict.
- The difference between healthy concern and harmful anxiety.
- Biblical truth that helps couples move from fear to faith.
- Practical ways to replace worry with communication, trust, and peace.
If you’re constantly bracing for the worst, imagining future conflicts, failures, or rejection, this episode will help you breathe again, reset your perspective, and build a marriage rooted in trust rather than fear.
Listen now and discover why most of what you’re worried about won’t happen, and how to handle what does, together.
