Why Talking Feels So Hard With Your Wife

Do you feel like every time your wife wants to talk, it ends in a fight? You’re not alone. Most men were taught from a young age to only take yelling seriously - and that old training is still running the show in your marriage today. In this episode, I’ll unpack: Why men and women learned two very different communication rules growing up. How her bids for connection get misinterpreted as nagging or criticism. Why defensiveness hijacks conversations and kills intimacy. Three practical tools you can use this week to stop the cycle. If communication with your wife feels like a minefield, this episode will help you understand why - and what to do about it. And if you want a deeper dive into how to ask for what you need in a clear way, go back to Episode 20 where I laid out the CLEAR Ask tool. It pairs perfectly with what we’re talking about today. https://youtu.be/EpMu76MtIPY 🎧 Listen to all episodes at  Podcast | Alisa Stoddard Coaching 💬 Want help figuring this out in your own relationship?
