Ep. 223 - Tough Conversations Without The Confrontations

Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!

Tough conversations are not the same as confrontations and knowing the difference could change your marriage.

In this episode, I'm unpacking a common misconception that keeps couples stuck: the belief that speaking up about challenges is automatically “confrontational.”

Tune in to hear me share:

• The real definition of confrontation (and why it doesn’t belong in a healthy marriage)
• How to reframe conflict so it feels like teamwork, not a battle
• Why avoiding hard conversations creates bigger problems over time
• How to see conflict as “maintenance” for your relationship

If you’ve been avoiding hard topics because you don’t want to rock the boat, this episode will give you the clarity and courage to start communicating in a way that builds closeness instead of distance.
