Listen "OCD Almost Broke Our Marriage — Then Therapy Saved Us"
Episode Synopsis
Montana thought he understood OCD — until he got married. His wife, Mackenzie, had been living with obsessive-compulsive disorder since she was a teenager, but it wasn’t until they built a life together that he began to see the full impact. From hidden rituals to overwhelming fear, contamination spirals, and constant anxiety, OCD slowly took over their home. With two young kids, military life, and cross-country moves in the mix, their marriage was pushed to the edge.In this raw and honest conversation, Mackenzie and Montana share how OCD strained their relationship, reshaped their parenting, and nearly tore their family apart. It wasn’t until everything felt like it was falling apart that therapy — specifically Exposure and Response Prevention — gave them the tools to rebuild. Together, they show what it really looks like to fight OCD as a team and how getting the right help can truly save a relationship and a family.Want to try ERP therapy like Mackenzie?
