A month after getting married, Juan shares the biggest lesson he's learned so far: your spouse is a gift—but they're not God.

That sparks a conversation about one of the deepest struggles in every marriage and every human heart. Why do the people and things we love most awaken desires they can never fully satisfy? What do we really mean when we say, "My wife doesn't do it for me anymore"? And why does disappointment so often turn into resentment?

From marriage and desire to C.S. Lewis, John Paul II, and the ache for infinite happiness, this episode explores the longing beneath every longing—and where it ultimately leads.
