The Pain of Trying to Get Your Wife to Be Who You Want

It’s one thing to learn about differentiation and emotional maturity, but it’s another thing entirely to actually live it. 

Stepping into the deep anxiety and uncertainty of defining a self that others may not validate is a terrifying prospect, but it’s what must be done for people and relationships to evolve and grow. 

In this NEW podcast episode, Dr. Finlayson-Fife joins Rhonda Farr to talk through two listener questions about desire dynamics and how to navigate the painful reality of having a spouse who is not interested in creating a better sexual relationship.
