Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher

How Can I Talk to My Spouse About My Growth and Triggers? Part 1 – When Owning Your Side Changes Everything


Listen Later

Are you trying to grow, be more self-aware, and build emotional trust—only to feel like the conversations still spiral into conflict?

This episode of Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher is for husbands who are genuinely trying… but keep hitting a wall. It's also for wives who long to feel emotionally safe but aren’t sure if their husband can hold space for hard conversations without getting defensive.

In Part 1 of this powerful new series, we cover:

  • Why preparing for emotional intimacy is like packing for the Rocky Mountains

  • How owning your own triggers—without blaming hers—builds trust fast

  • Why your wife may struggle to believe you’re “ready” (and how to prove it through actions)

  • The miracle of you starting the hard conversations instead of waiting for her

  • The power of pre-planning responses to predictable emotional landmines

  • How to stop expecting her to make things easier—and rise as a skill-based responder

This isn’t about blaming you for everything. It’s about stepping into your power by doing what only you can do—and watching what happens when emotional safety finally enters the room.
