Habits for Your Happily Ever After

How Science Can Help Your Marriage Communication


Listen Later

Are there some aspects of your marriage that aren't what you expect?

Today we talk to science writer, Christie Aschwanden, about uncertainty. I recently listened to her podcast from Scientific American titled Uncertain, and I was struck by the parallels in science and relationships.

We’ll discuss the unknown perceptions we have that color the way we see the world and how those unknown perceptions can cause conflict in your relationship:

  • We’ll discuss how being wrong can strengthen your relationship
  • I’ll offer you a habit to help you spot those invisible perceptions so you connect with your sweetheart more deeply

Habit for Your Happily Ever After

This week’s habit for your happily ever after is to use the phrase, “Tell me where I’m wrong.”

Date Night Discussion
