What if we told you the silent killer of marriage was something so seemingly small, so avoidable? Join us as we chat with Matthew Fray about how a “good guy” like him ended up being a sh****y husband and how others can avoid these missteps. We discuss why neglecting your partner's thoughts and feelings is the demise of a relationship, how to recognize signs of this behavior even in early dating, and the importance of being aware of this now even if you're nowhere close to marriage.
