88. One Way Your Intimate Marriage Of Today Is Impacted By Your Relationships Of The Past
My husband and I had a solid, collaborative, and intimate marriage. Our foundation was strong and we could envision what it would be like to go from good to great, and were on our way there… However, suddenly, things started to feel strange to me. I experienced a disconnect in our marriage but couldn’t see a single reason why this was happening. The cause, however, had nothing to do with a present-day occurrence; it was something from my husband’s past that was creating the disconnect in our marriage. He didn’t want it to. He didn’t even know it was. Nevertheless, it was definitely happening. In this episode, you’ll hear: How I realized what was causing us to become disconnected What happened when I shared the theory with my husband Why challenging times with your spouse may have nothing to do with you A real client example of how past experiences can come up in your present … and much more! I’m hoping today’s episode opens your eyes to seeing challenging times with your spouse in a whole new light, and also poses the question to you: do you have feelings coming up that might belong to another time in your life?
