Dealmakers and Dealbreakers: Taking Ownership of Your Marriage

In this episode Paul urges couples to take ownership of their marriage by recognising that staying passive is itself a choice. He explains how unhappy marriages worsen over time and encourages listeners to identify their personal deal-makers (must-haves) and deal-breakers to decide what they will tolerate and what requires change. Practical steps include making a list, reflecting on it, and then actively working on one attainable change—starting with something you can control—to prevent the relationship from reaching the point of no return.
