The Marriage We Expected vs the Marriage We Got

from Holy Chaos: Real Conversations on Family, Life, and the Mess Between · host holychaosshow

Marriage rarely looks like what we expected — and that gap can quietly turn into frustration and resentment. In this episode, Larry and Brittney talk honestly (and humorously) about the expectations they brought into marriage, how family of origin shaped the way they handled conflict, and why unspoken expectations often do the most damage. From yelling vs. packing bags to chores, communication, and intimacy, they explore how naming expectations can lower the temperature and deepen connection. If you’ve ever thought, “This isn’t what I pictured,” this conversation is for you. 👉 Download the Couples Discussion Guide here: https://bit.ly/46enUzF
