On today’s episode of the Marriage on Fire podcast I will be doing a solo show packed full of information on the importance of communication in your marriage. For so many years, Jon and I felt more like roommates than partners.  I want you to be different. I want to encourage you to have open communication in your marriage and to make sure to have devoted time together. One thing I can promise you is that you will always have disagreements as a couple, but it is how you react and work through the conflict that allows you to have a marriage that thrives.

 

On Today’s Episode I Discuss: 

 

• Disagreements in marriage and why they are normal

• How to handle conflict differently than you have in the past 
• Why it’s ok to not agree or align, even on the simple issues
• Negative cycles in your marriage 
• What shaming can sound like and how to avoid it 
• Withdrawing and fighting back  
• How situations that haven’t been repaired in the past will come back to haunt you 
• Healthy ways to say you’re sorry

• Why anger feels like a powerful emotion when it’s actually an out of control one. 
• Why the secret to anger is you

• The importance of being able to take a break before having a serious conversation 
• How to be aware of your nonverbal and verbal responses and triggers
