Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

Power, Culture, and Love's Dance


Listen Later

This week, I’m sitting down for a Language of Love Session with a listener who's dealing with some serious relationship hurdles. Picture this: cultural clashes, power struggles, and a partner who's not exactly a cheerleader for her spiritual journey. 

Theresa reached out to me for advice on navigating cultural differences and power dynamics with her husband. It turns out that her husband isn't very supportive of her spiritual pursuits and often blames her for their son's misbehavior. Not an easy situation to be in, right? 


In this episode, we’re discussing:

  • Why sticking to traditional gender roles and gender expectations in a relationship doesn’t always work
  • The importance of staying true to your passions and beliefs even if they differ from your partner's
  • How to deal with a partner's critical behavior with healthy conflict resolution and boundaries 
  • The challenges of navigating new dynamics and expectations after having children
  • How a relationship can impact a child and why it's crucial to provide a healthy relationship model for them

  • Remember, you deserve to be in a relationship where you're supported and respected. Don't be afraid to prioritize your own happiness and growth. You've got this!
