53: Managing Relationship Crisis with Dr. Becky Whetstone

53: Managing Relationship Crisis with Dr. Becky Whetstone

This week on Conversations for Couples, Julie and David Bulitt talk with nationally recognized marriage and family therapist Dr. Becky Whetstone, also known as the Marriage Crisis Manager. Becky is the author of I Think I Want Out and brings her decades of experience helping couples navigate the brink of divorce with honesty, strategy, and heart.

In this episode, the three dive deep into what really happens when one partner quietly checks out, the surprising traits that predict a happy marriage (hint: flexibility matters more than romance), and why so many people never say they’re unhappy—until it’s too late.

📘 Dr. Becky shares:

  • ✅ The Gottman-backed traits that predict marital success

  • ⚠️ What a “decider” is and how to catch unhappiness before it blows up

  • 🧠 Why trauma, shame, and grandiosity destroy communication

  • 🔄 The power of “repair conversations” and how to do them the right way

  • 💬 Real-life examples from couples in crisis (and how they pulled back from the edge)

  • 🛑 How to use separation therapeutically instead of rushing into divorce

Plus, hear Julie & David’s own take on decades of marriage, how they resolve conflict using “Safe Talk,” and why they never want to go back into the dating pool again.
