Talk To Me: The Debra Fileta Podcast

Culture Clash: Couples Therapy with Carlos and Ashley


Listen Later

This week we're wrapping up a series we started in February called Couples Therapy! I've invited four courageous couples to join me on the podcast for on-air counseling sessions. We're going behind the curtain of marriage, and giving you a sneak peek of all the things married couples are actually going through behind the scenes.
Because marriage takes work, and it's important to understand that - but it's also important to have the tools you need to do that work, and the hope you need to see that it's always worth it in the end.
Today's couple is Carlos and Ashley. After a lighting fast dating and engagement, they're finding themselves stuck in the area of  expectations and norms in marriage. They come from very different cultural backgrounds, and now their differences are coming to a head.
Carlos comes to marriage with certain expectations of gender roles in marriage, and Ashley comes from the exact opposite perspective. Will they be able to get on the same page, even with their different views? How does their past, childhood, and culture impact what they think and believe about marriage? How do you sort through what's right and what's wrong? What does it look like to create a NEW culture in their marriage, rather than try to replicate the old?
Today we unpack all of that!!!
If you've ever struggled with difference in your expectations or cultural norms, you'll want to tune into this couple's therapy session.
