About this episode
✋PLEASE SHARE WITH OTHERS!
Defensiveness is a normal human impulse. When we are blamed, we instinctually want to justify our intent. We can't stand the idea of our partner thinking we did something that we don't feel like we did. However, the more we defend, the more it makes our partner feel invalidated. In this new episode. I discuss the top steps I take in my marriage to avoid becoming defensive.
