All Things Marriage with Dr. Chavonne

Episode 187 Dealing with a Defensive Spouse


Listen Later

If it feels hard to talk to your spouse without them getting defensive, then this podcast episode is for you.


One of the most common questions I get it this: "What do you do when you spouse is so defensive every time you bring certain things up?"


I'm answering this question directly and sharing with you my 4-step Defensiveness Protocol for navigating this situation in your conversations.


You'll learn exactly how to think about your spouse's defensiveness in a way that leave you feeling less offended and frustrated.


You'll know how to respond to them better, and also how to address your needs that are likely not being heard in the moment.


This is an episode you will return to again and again.
