The "Polite" Marriage | Ep #89

Have you ever looked at a couple and thought, "They look so happy and in love," only to find out that they had major problems and were going through divorce?


It is likely that couple was engaged in a "polite" marriage. They may check all the boxes and genuinely look very happy together. They may show each other public affection and seem fond of each other. But there are likely issues underneath.


In this episode I go through two different kinds of "polite" marriages and share the differences between the two, and what each one can lead to.


Then I teach the opposite of the polite marriage and what richness and happiness can ensue when courageous people move beyond what feels comfortable and safe.
