Ep. 219: The Marriage Tool that Makes Or Breaks Connection
Manage episode 495613592 series 2913507
There’s one tool that shows your spouse you care about how they feel, helps rebuild trust, and creates the kind of emotional safety every strong relationship needs. And yet, it’s one of the most misunderstood (and misused) tools in marriage.
I’m talking about apology. Not the kind that shuts a conversation down or smooths things over quickly, but the kind that actually brings you closer. Whether you're someone who avoids saying sorry, finds yourself over-apologizing, or just wishes your spouse would do it better, I’m getting into why this skill is so critical for connection and how to use it well.
Tune in to discover:
- The surprising psychological reasons so many people struggle to apologize
- Why your spouse’s apology might not feel satisfying (and what to do about it)
- What research says about the way men and women apologize differently
- A 3-part formula you can use to give powerful, effective apologies
- How to get more of what you need even if your partner doesn’t apologize often (or at all)
