Trauma. PTSD. Divorce. These are just a few of the issues mentioned that can disrupt a marriage.
Bumps and disagreements are indeed a normal part of any relationship, including marriages. No marriage is perfect, and it is unrealistic to expect complete harmony and agreement at all times.
However, what sets apart healthier and happier marriages is how couples handle these challenges.
In a healthy and happy marriage, both partners recognize that disagreements are inevitable and approach them with respect, understanding, and open communication.
They understand that compromise and negotiation are crucial components of a successful partnership.
In this episode, Elizabeth Polinsky, a licensed counselor and military wife shares her upbringing and how her childhood experiences shaped her initial belief that marriages don't work due to witnessing divorces and conflict-ridden relationships.
