Your Spouse Isn't a "Defective" Version of You

from Doing Marriage Well · host paulb5d

Paul explains why we often expect our spouse to be just like us and how that expectation creates conflict. Using a cat-and-dog analogy, he explores how personality, gender, and family background shape different realities within a marriage. He urges listeners to recognise that most differences are just that—different, not wrong—and suggests reflecting on how your partner differs from you as the first step toward better understanding and a healthier relationship.
