We already know about the deleterious effects of social media on Gen Z. But is it also affecting married couples and families? Coach Sarah Abenaim says it's happening every day.

Today, Antony sits down with the life coach and relationship expert for a direct, unfiltered conversation about what’s really happening to modern marriage in the age of social media. They dig into the quiet damage caused by curated lives, fake standards, and the constant pressure to perform happiness online. From moral posturing to the subtle “keeping up” mindset, Antony and Sarah break down how these forces are eroding trust and intimacy between partners.

Together, they unpack the psychological patterns driving comparison, resentment, and disconnection. This also calls out the larger system at play: Big Tech continues to benefit from keeping people hooked on cycles of validation, outrage, and illusion. That impact is spilling into young marriages and families across the country.

This conversation is grounded, honest, and at times, blunt. But it is not hopeless.

Sarah offers practical tools couples can actually use to rebuild trust, communicate clearly, and resist the noise. She closes by sharing her top three strategies for navigating conflict and staying aligned as a team, even when everything around you is pushing you apart.

This episode is required listening for anyone looking to the future with hope, especially those with someone by their side.
