Some differences in marriage aren’t going anywhere. The dirty socks. The different communication styles. The personality quirks. The habits that make you think, “How are we still having this conversation?”
In this episode of The Vibrant Marriage Podcast, we’re talking about how to navigate the so-called “unsolvable problems” in marriage—and why many of them aren’t actually problems to fix, but differences to understand.
You’ll learn how to:
Recognize the difference between unsolvable vs. situational problems
Identify the underlying emotional triggers beneath recurring conflict
Reframe your mindset so differences don’t feel like threats
Get on the same page about your deeper hopes, dreams, and values
Creatively problem-solve in ways that honor both partners’ needs
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same argument on repeat, this episode will help you move from frustration to understanding—and from opposition to teamwork.
Because a healthy, vibrant marriage isn’t about eliminating every difference. It’s about learning how to navigate them with curiosity, compassion, and creativity.
🎧 Press play to discover how to handle your “dirty socks” moments with more connection and less conflict.
