โ€œHow can I get my spouse to โ€ฆ?โ€

When I hear that, I know there is a power problem. Few marriage issues are the result of 100% one spouse and 0% the other. We donโ€™t have the power to change someone else, but we can influence them. Influence means having sway over someone. What you do can affect your spouse. For example, you don't have the power to make your spouse understand your feelings, but you can let them know that you would like them to empathize with your emotions. You can model the behavior by responding with empathy. Let's dive a bit deeper into that. Watch this video and scroll down for more.

DISMISS MESSAGE
  • Marriage is first and foremost about love. It is bound together by the care, need, companionship, and values of two people, which can overcome hurt, immaturity, and selfishness to form something better than what each person alone can produce.
  • When people grow in character, they grow in the ability to set and receive boundaries in their marriages, and they mature. When they resist hearing the word no, they remain immature.
  • Many people believe that as we humans grow up physically, we automatically grow up emotionally as well, but that’s simply not true. Age is a necessary but insufficient requirement for growing up. There are immature old people, and there are appropriately mature young people.
  • Having boundaries in your marriage is not about fixing, changing, or punishing your significant other. If you aren’t in control of yourself, the solution is not learning to control someone else. The solution is learning self-control.
