Do you find that you have expectations and struggle when those expectations aren’t met or when your spouse doesn’t maybe handle things like you would like them to? Join us on the video today as we talk about how expectations and rigidity impact our marriage and what we can do to fix it. Hint: It’s time to get flexible.
Main points:

[1:27] It’s important to know when to just let something go because our spouse just made a mistake.
[1:55] Recognize that there will be moments where our spouse is stressed and they might forget to do something or do something “incorrectly”. Know what is a big deal and what isn’t.
[2:23] Flexibility could also look like being flexible with plans and being aware of our spouse’s needs.
[3:00] We need to be aware and flexible with our spouse’s emotional needs.
[4:50] Time for a check-in. How flexible are you with your spouse and where can you be better?
