Rebuilding a Marriage From False Expectations| Grévisse Kenguruka | Ep.18

What does it take to rebuild a marriage after disappointment, emotional distance, separation, and conversations about divorce? In this deeply honest episode, Grévisse Kenguruka opens up about the expectations he carried into marriage, the loneliness and resentment that followed when those expectations were not met, and the painful decisions that brought his marriage close to ending. In Episode 18 of The Container Podcast, we sit with Grévisse Kenguruka for a vulnerable conversation about separation, therapy, pride, unresolved pain, personal responsibility, and the difficult journey of rebuilding a marriage that once felt beyond repair. Together with Kenjie Kirimi and Kevin Kanyottu, the men unpack how unspoken expectations can quietly create distance between a husband and wife, why leaving may feel easier than staying, and how rebuilding begins when a man stops trying to change his wife and allows God to change him.
