Are You Getting In Your Own Way?

2 days ago

We all have roles in our marriage—some we enjoy, and some we quietly (or not so quietly) resent. It’s easy to say, “I wish I had more help with the finances” or “I just want help around the house.”

But here’s the catch: sometimes we get in our own way.

Your spouse steps in to help with the bills, but you nitpick the way they do it. They load the dishwasher, but you immediately correct their “wrong” way. Over time, your criticism shuts down the very help you asked for.

So pause and ask yourself:
– Where am I complaining but not releasing control?
– How am I complicating the very thing I say I want fixed?
– What would happen if I allowed “different” to be good enough?

Marriage grows when we stop sabotaging the solutions we’ve been asking for.
