Phubbing, Messiness, and Lateness: Addressing the Friction that Eats at You

Paul urges couples to stop tolerating behaviors that steadily damage their relationship — from selective listening and messiness to constant "fubbing" and lateness — and gives permission to address these issues rather than suffer in silence. He focuses on lateness with a personal anecdote about differing expectations and their effect on marriage, and previews practical advice on how to bring up these problems in the next episode.
