In this episode of Doing Marriage Well (May 18, 2026), Paul explores how cognitive biases—like confirmation bias—distort how we interpret our spouse’s words and actions, leading to misunderstandings and hurt.

He gives everyday examples (feeling underappreciated, criticism loops, jealousy, and perceived incompatibility) and encourages listeners to examine their own thinking, give their partner the benefit of the doubt, and choose reality over negative assumptions.
