The "Yes" Trap: When Your Spouse Is a People-Pleaser

In this episode Paul examines the "yes trap"—when a spouse consistently gives in out of fear of rejection rather than love—and how people-pleasing quietly erodes a marriage. He offers practical steps for partners: open, gentle communication, give choices to make expressing preferences safer, watch for times your spouse is being taken advantage of, and patiently help them build boundaries so the relationship becomes healthier and more mutual.
