October 25, 2022 108 - Dr. Richard Dell’Isola on How to Share Your Values and Goals with Your Spouse
One of the key markers of marital success is learning how to communicate your values, desires, and goals, and learning how to listen and support your spouse’s values, desires, and goals.

Joining me on the show to talk about how to do that is Dr. Richard Dell’Isola, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Belmont Abbey College. In today’s episode, we discuss how to effectively communicate your values and goals, how to get on the same page with your spouse, how to prioritize different goals, how to navigate these conversations when dating and early in marriage, and what to do when there is too much disagreement.
