Listen to this Whinypaluza Wednesday Live vlog episode with The Greene Family! An extension of the weekly blog, join Rebecca and her family on the live vlog, brought to you here in case you missed it last week!

 

Here is what to expect on this week’s show as Rebecca discusses common marital mistakes, and some sound advice from John Gottman:

  • John Gottman’s 4 Horsemen of Divorce: Contempt, Criticism, Defensiveness, and Stonewalling. If any of these 4 are not addressed, your relationship will not likely survive.
  • Don’t expect your partner to be able to read your mind and know what you really want. Vocalize your wishes and needs!
  • Prioritize your marriage. Without a strong marital foundation, all the rest will fall apart. 
  • Love your partner the way THEY want to be loved, not the way YOU want to be love. Everyone has their own “love language.”
  • Stop letting your hair down- comfort is wonderful, but make sure to show up for your spouse and give them a reason to choose you every day. Tend your marital garden.
  • Don’t expect your partner to be you. They are not, nor are you them. Respect that you each have different ideas and ways to do things.
  • Stop thinking little things don’t matter. What may seem small to you may not be to your partner. Little things have a way of building up to big things. This goes for the good and the bad.
  • Break the marital pattern. Constantly repeating the same mistakes does not bode well. Marriage is a work in progress and growth is vital.
  • Stop talking and listen! Don’t let your feelings and thoughts override what your partner is trying to tell you.
  • Put yourself in your spouse’s shoes. Having empathy and perspective is vitally important.
  • Protect your marriage from outside influences that do not serve it.
  • Don’t do things you feel need to be a secret from your spouse.
