Personal Development Before Relationship Repair Part 4: Why Does My Wife Keep Working on Herself—And Why Does My Husband Expect Me to Fix Us?
Wives often feel like they’re putting in all the work—setting boundaries, growing, and improving—while their husbands expect things to change without real effort on their part. Meanwhile, husbands wonder why their wife is constantly focused on personal development instead of just “fixing” the marriage.
In this episode, we uncover:
✔️ Why personal development is not about changing him—but about becoming unshakable yourself.
✔️ How a strong personal development system builds trust more than words ever could.
✔️ Why waiting for your spouse to change first is a dangerous trap.
✔️ The power of writing down your own growth—even if you never share it.
✔️ How becoming your best self makes navigating his issues, his mistakes, and his growth process easier.
If you’ve ever thought “Why am I doing all the work in this marriage?” or “Why does my wife focus so much on herself instead of fixing us?”—this episode will bring clarity.
