Why Resentment Keeps Growing in Marriage

Hi, Fam! Short 3 months ago

Description

It's surprisingly easy to start seeing your spouse through one story.⁠
⁠
"He's lazy."⁠
"He doesn't care."⁠
"I'm basically doing this alone."⁠
⁠
And once that story takes hold, your brain starts collecting evidence to prove it's true.⁠
⁠
That doesn't mean the frustrations aren't real. It means we have to be careful not to let one part of our partner become the whole picture.⁠
⁠
Healthy marriages don't ignore problems.⁠
⁠
They just refuse to let resentment become the lens through which they see each other.⁠
⁠
If you're trying to create a marriage that feels lighter, warmer and more connected, this is exactly the kind of conversation we have inside Married-U. We spend far less time blaming each other—and much more time learning the skills that actually strengthen a relationship.
