Ep 277: Navigating Different Energy Levels in Marriage with David Wittman


Listen Later

In this episode, Renae sits down with her husband David to talk about what happens when you and your partner want totally different things out of a weekend. One of you thrives on staying busy, the other is perfectly content lounging at home—and both of you end up a little resentful.

They share how they’ve (imperfectly) navigated these differences, from carving out “me-time” to begrudgingly watching family movie nights, and why compromise, communication, and acceptance matter more than chasing some Instagram-perfect idea of marriage.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why can’t they just do things my way?”—this one’s for you.
