Anger shows up in more ways than we often realize in marriage, and every couple will face it at some point. The question is, what do we do when it does?

In this episode of The Favorite Marriage Podcast, Monty & Jeannine tackle a question every spouse has asked: “Why is my spouse so angry?” While anger may seem loud and obvious, its impact can be subtle—quietly eroding connection, trust, and intimacy if left unaddressed.

Together, they unpack some of the most common root causes behind anger in marriage:

• Hidden Hurt – Anger is often just the surface; underneath is unspoken pain.
• Stress & Overload – When life feels heavy, anger can become emotional overflow.
• Lack of Control – Sometimes anger is an attempt to regain a sense of control in overwhelming situations.

If anger has ever crept into your relationship (and it has for all of us), this episode offers practical insight and biblical encouragement to help you shift from self-centered reactions to Christ-centered responses.

Because a healthy marriage isn’t one without anger—it’s one that knows how to handle it with grace, truth, and love.
