Trying to Do It All Is Hurting Your Marriage

from Doing Marriage Well · host paulb5d

In this episode Paul explains how trying to do everything is damaging your marriage. Using the Whack-A-Mole analogy, he shows that focusing on a few priorities lets you do them well, while spreading yourself too thin leads to neglect and conflict. Paul encourages listeners to evaluate obligations, let go of activities that steal time without adding value, and actively protect the marriage—especially during busy seasons like raising school-age children. He offers practical questions to help decide what to cut so your relationship can thrive.
