Description

Traditional marriage advice often sounds wise but can secretly damage relationships when applied to modern marriages. In this episode, we examine five common marriage myths that might be undermining your relationship and explore healthier alternatives.

• The dangers of "never go to bed angry" and how it leads to sleep deprivation and worsened arguments
• Why "happy wife, happy life" creates an impossible burden on one spouse and ignores both partners' needs
• How "find someone who completes you" leads to unhealthy codependency instead of partnership
• The myth that happy couples don't fight, when research shows healthy couples simply repair better after a fight
• Why compromise is outdated and collaboration creates better solutions for both partners
• Bad marriage advice is anything that makes communication lazy or doesn't require vulnerability
• Plus, ten more marriage myths are explored in depth in the book
