What does it take to start moving your marriage up the priority list (even if your spouse does not)? To answer this question, I invited life and marriage coach, Dr. Chavonne Perotte, to share with us some strategies and tools she uses in her coaching practice. We talk about what it takes to get on the same team so it’s not you against your spouse as you navigate challenges like: how to make household duties and responsibilities more equitable? We talk about creating a culture change in your marriage where you make decisions together as roles and responsibilities shift. And Dr. Chavonne shares about the importance of connection and how to foster it, in just a few minutes a day.
