Married After Kids

Ep. 61: Does Knowing Your Attachment Style Hurt or Save Your Marriage?


Listen Later

You’ve probably heard of attachment styles — anxious, avoidant, secure — and maybe you’ve even taken a quiz to figure out your own. But what happens after that? Does knowing your attachment style actually help your marriage… or can it do more harm than good?


In this episode, we’re unpacking what attachment theory really means in real life and whether it can be the key to a stronger relationship — or just another label that keeps you stuck.


Tune in to discover:

  • Why understanding your attachment style can feel validating and frustrating
  • The most important mindset shift if you want to use this info to improve your marriage
  • How knowing your partner’s attachment style can reduce conflict and increase connection
  • What to do if you’re “insecurely attached” and don’t know how to change it
  • The #1 way to avoid using attachment styles as an excuse for disconnection

 

Whether attachment theory is brand new to you or you’ve gone deep into it, this episode will help you use it as a tool — not a limitation — to grow a more connected, resilient relationship.
