“Don’t be stubborn like a horse or mule. They need a bit and bridle in their mouth to restrain them, or they will not come near you.” (Psalm 32:9) Most married couples can recognize the moment almost instantly.

At first glance, it sounds like just another internet phrase—something lighthearted, maybe even a little ironic.

It shows up as a knot in the stomach, a racing mind, and a constant sense that something is about to [...]
