All Things Marriage with Dr. Chavonne

Episode 112: Questionable Expectations


Listen Later

There is probably no greater frustration in marriage than to not have your expectations met. Expectations are the rules we adopt that tell us what someone else is supposed to think, feel and act. In marriage, expectations are often the cause of a lot of unhappiness.


In this episode of the podcast, we are going to take a new look at the idea of expectations. You will have the opportunity to work through a current expectation that you have that is not being met in your marriage. I will talk you through my 5-part process of how to question your expectations and identify if they make sense to hold on to. 


You will

  • distinguish between expectations and personal desires - and why knowing one from the other will change everything about how you make requests of your partner
  • learn how to tell if your expectation is causing you to create resentment and distance in your marriage
  • uncover the real reasons why you have expectations and honor what feels most right for you, regardless of what your spouse is doing
  • create a sense of peace for yourself when expectations are not being met


Expectations can be a great way to build the kind of marriage you want together. That process starts with questioning the ones you have now and making sure you end up with the right expectations for the kind of couple you are wanting to be together. 


Listen to this episode now and walk away feeling great about your expectations instead of frustrated by them.
