Is This a ME Thing or a WE Thing? Distinguishing Personal Growth from Relationship Growth: Episode 359

Is This a ME Thing or a WE Thing? Distinguishing Personal Growth from Relationship Growth: Episode 359

When there is tension or an upset in your marriage, it's easy to point the finger at your partner as the source of the discomfort. But this often leads to further conflict. It also does not address this critical aspect of being in a marriage for a long time… that growth is a part of it! The common question for those that see these events as places to grow is "well, is this a me thing, a you thing, or a we thing"!

Today's episode is more motivational (and aspirational) about growth in your relationship. You will hear how you can quickly distinguish between the necessary individual work that needs to be done as well as the relationship work that needs to be focused on. After listening to this episode you both will feel more grace for each other with the reminder that you are in this to grow and you are in it together!
