Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo 3086 Are Your Buttons Being Pushed?
"Marriage isn't always smooth sailing. We've all experienced those moments when our buttons get pushed. But do these triggers reveal more about us than we'd like to think? This episode delves into the challenging aspects of relationships, suggesting tactful and loving ways we can respond to these trying circumstances. Learn how living out virtues like empathy, gratitude, and effective communication can not only ease tension, but also forge stronger bonds between spouses. It might not be easy, but your marriage is worth the work. Dive in if you're ready for some real talk on marriage."
**Key Points:**
1. **Practicing Empathy:** Understand your spouse's perspective even if their actions or words hurt or frustrate you. Reacting defensively is not the way to go. Instead, aim to understand the sentiment behind their words or actions.
2. **Cultivating Gratitude:** Focusing on your spouse's flaws can hinder unconditional love. Shift your focus towards the things you appreciate about them.
3. **Effective Communication:** When faced with uncomfortable situations, respond thoughtfully instead of impulsively. Practice active listening to foster better understanding.
