The Problem With Modern Marriage
Listen on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and Google Podcasts
I’ve been married almost as long as I’ve been a marriage therapist. You’d think I’d have marriage figured out...but I didn't. If you looked at my marriage from afar, everything looked great, but in reality, I was so unhappy! Balancing my marriage, my kids, and my career seemed impossible. I wanted a “modern marriage” but I couldn’t figure out to make it work and I definitely didn’t expect to struggle. Does this sound familiar? Almost 50% of people get divorced, and with the way marriage and society has changed, it’s no wonder people feel dissatisfied in their relationships. But don’t worry, I’m here to help. The good news is, you and your spouse can create your own version of a modern marriage - something that will work for you! I hope you’ll join me and listen in as I dive into the myth of modern marriage and help you get the conversation started with your spouse to manage your expectations and improve your communication skills.
