Married After Kids

Ep. 112: What To Do When Your Spouse Doesn’t Follow Through


Listen Later

Ever have that sinking feeling when your spouse's promises start fizzling out?

 

We've all been there, wondering why they aren't following through after promising they’ll communicate at set times during deployment, or even pick up something they promised after work.

 

But here's the kicker: solving this problem doesn't have to lead to a fight! Join me as we dive into real-life scenarios, uncover the hidden negativity, and discover the secrets to rebuilding trust without causing a major meltdown in your relationship.

 

We’re exploring:

  • Scenarios from my own marriage and my clients’ relationships (and how you can overcome and even grow stronger in the process)

  • Why we try to make lack of follow-throughs mean something more than they really are

  • How small things can chip away at the trust you have for your spouse and what you need to pay attention to for rebuilding that trust

  • The best thing you can do to remain a solid team

  • Five steps to successfully repair trust based on psychological research 

  • Why it’s so difficult for our spouses to make a repair (and two ways we can make it easier for them to communicate about it)
