About this episode
Would you describe your spouse as your greatest teammate? Probably depends on the day, right? We all have opponents that war against the connection in our marriage and cause conflict. But how do we fight? Do we see the opponent for what it is, or do we make our spouse out to be the opponent? In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about how to name the opponent, talk about your dance, and take responsibility for how to engage with your spouse. They talk about:
- The importance of finding out what's going on in your spouse's heart rather than what's going on between the two of you
- Protective mechanisms and how they hold us back from communicating the truth of what we want from our spouse
- Why taking 100% responsibility for your role in the conflict disarms your spouse
- Practical ways to show up differently for your spouse
