537. Have a Resentment-Free Marriage with Natalie Clay

Resentment in marriage often feels like an inevitable part of long-term relationships. That slow burn of frustration when your spouse doesn't help with the dishes, or the familiar irritation when they make plans without checking with you first. These everyday moments can accumulate into something that feels permanent and insurmountable, creating distance between partners who once felt deeply connected.

This week, my sister Natalie Clay returns to the podcast as our resident couples coach to challenge this assumption. She brings a fresh perspective on resentment that turns conventional wisdom on its head - suggesting that resentment isn't about your partner's behavior at all.

Tune in as we unpack Natalie's definition of resentment and how it creates long-term disconnection. You'll discover a simple filter for making decisions that preserve connection rather than breed resentment, and learn why saying "yes" when you mean "no" might be the real culprit behind marital frustration. Most importantly, you'll understand how resentment actually offers valuable information about your own vulnerabilities and growth opportunities.
