178. Are You Or Your Spouse A Perfectionist? How Chasing Perfectionism Will Negatively Impact Your Intimacy


Listen Later

The longing for perfection, both in ourselves and in our spouses, is a common theme that arises in couples and marriages. It's natural to desire perfection, thinking that if we achieve it, it will lead to bliss in the relationship. The truth is, longing for perfection will destroy intimacy in your relationship.

Experience has shown that the more people chase perfection in life and marriage, the more they fall short and feel dissatisfied in the relationship. The thing about trying to achieve perfection is that you will always be disappointed because perfection is unattainable.

Having a perfectionistic spouse (or if you are a perfectionist) can present unique challenges in a marriage. The constant pursuit of flawlessness and high standards can create tension, dissatisfaction, and even feelings of inadequacy.

However, with understanding, patience, and effective communication, it is possible to navigate this aspect of your spouse's personality and find a healthy balance that fosters a harmonious relationship.


In this episode, Nick and Amy share some surprising poll questions and results, the negative impacts of perfectionism, and great tips on how to deal with it in your marriage.
