Married After Kids

Ep. 123: Are These 5 Things Keeping You From Seeing Changes In Your Marriage?


Listen Later

Most couples want a better marriage, but wanting change and creating change are not the same thing. Sometimes the biggest obstacles are not the obvious ones. They are the patterns, habits, and blind spots that get in the way of progress, even when both people care deeply about the relationship.


In this episode, I’m breaking down five common barriers that can keep couples from seeing meaningful change in their marriage. From unrealistic expectations and emotional safety issues to listening mistakes and losing sight of fun, these are the patterns I see repeatedly keep couples stuck, discouraged, and wondering why nothing seems to be getting better.


Tune in to discover:


• How unrealistic expectations create frustration in marriage

• Why listening to understand changes everything

• The role emotional safety plays in connection

• Why knowing what to do is different than actually doing it

• How having fun together impacts your relationship more than you think
