What if your biggest marriage arguments aren’t really about money, parenting, or sex—but about time itself?

In this mind-expanding episode of Marriage IQ, Drs. Scott and Heidi Hastings dive into the surprising power of time perspectives in relationships, inspired by the groundbreaking book The Time Paradox by Dr. Philip Zimbardo and John Boyd.

You’ll discover:

  • The 6 hidden time lenses that shape how we think, feel, and fight

  • Why your spouse’s spontaneity may drive you nuts—and how to make peace with it

  • What happens when a past-focused partner marries a future planner

  • How childhood trauma and nostalgia influence intimacy, parenting, and emotional safety

  • What couples who understand time do differently—and how it protects their connection over a lifetime

From budgeting battles to bedroom mismatches, unresolved past wounds to future obsession—this episode unpacks the real reason you may be misdirecting messages… and how to reconnect.

Includes practical tools, self-reflection prompts, and a link to a free quiz to help you map your own time perspective.

Because how you see time… might be the hidden script running your marriage.
