Stop Listening to These 5 Pieces of Common Marriage Advice
Manage episode 502685532 series 2087733
Marriage advice is everywhere, but much of it is outdated, misguided, or flat-out harmful to your relationship, no matter how well-intentioned it may be.
• Happy couples don't fight - FALSE: Conflict is like exercise for your relationship and helps you grow stronger
• The myth of "don't sweat the small stuff" can lead to an explosion after years of suppressing irritation
• Compromise is outdated advice that leaves both partners with less than they want
• Collaboration creates solutions that multiply the best of both positions instead of subtracting from each
• Love is a foundation but requires communication skills, conflict resolution, and intentional connection to build lasting marriage
• Your differences aren't proof you picked the wrong person - they can become your greatest strengths when you learn to navigate them together
• Believing these myths sets expectations that don't match reality, which creates resentment
