Marriage is often seen as the ultimate partnership between two people in love, but is that the reality for most? In this episode of Moving Forward with Hope - Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Podcast, host Lynn takes a closer look at the strikingly different expectations men and women bring into marriage.

Are men viewing marriage as the end of the chase, while women see it as the start of a collaborative journey? From societal norms and gendered expectations to the lingering effects of patriarchal dynamics, Lynn dives into the unspoken challenges that shape marital relationships.

Join us as we explore why these differing mindsets can lead to disconnection, resentment, or worse — and what needs to change for marriages to thrive in today’s rapidly evolving world. Whether you’re single, dating, married, opting to 4B, or considering your next steps, this conversation is a must-listen.
