Personal Development Before Relationship Repair Part 4: Why Does My Wife Have So Many Rules—And Why Does My Husband Ignore Them Until It’s Too Late?
Wives feel drained from constantly setting boundaries, clarifying expectations, and enforcing standards—only to have their husband ignore them until the damage is done. Meanwhile, husbands feel overwhelmed by what seems like an ever-changing rulebook, wondering why they always seem to be in trouble.
In this episode, we break down:
✔️ Why boundaries shouldn’t feel like a punishment—but often do.
✔️ How men can step up without waiting to be corrected.
✔️ Why women must build their own identity rulebook—and stick to it.
✔️ How codependency keeps both spouses stuck in frustration.
✔️ What to do when you feel trapped by your spouse’s expectations.
If you’ve ever thought, “Why does my wife make this so complicated?” or “Why won’t my husband take the lead in our relationship?”—this episode is for you.
