Talk To Me: The Debra Fileta Podcast

Happy Wife = Happy Life (and other bad relationship advice)


Listen Later

We’re continuing our Marriage series with the bad relationship advice that says, “A happy wife makes a happy life”. 

I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve heard this bad relationship advice. It’s advice that has been used as one of the most common approaches in relationships.

But why is this bad relationship advice, and what advice is actually BETTER when it comes to how we approach marriage? 

Happy Wife Makes A Happy Life?

This short, 5-minute episode will offer you a counter perspective to this common advice, and challenge you to see things differently when it comes to marriage and relationships. In this short episode, we cover:

  • Why this is bad advice.
  • Talk about how this advice encourages passivity.
  • What happens when we follow this advice and why it forms one-sided relationships.
  • How to approach marriage from a healthier perspective.
  • Learning to adapt a mutual model in marriage.
  • The BETTER formula to apply instead of Happy Wife = Happy Life
  • I hope this episode encourages you and challenges you to say no to this bad relationship advice!
