Questions to Discuss:
Dr. Kim talked about the importance of framing your spouse in a positive way, are there places where you are negatively framing your spouse's wants or needs?
What boundary could you set today so that you could better meet a need for your spouse?
QUOTES
God didn’t give your husband maternal instinct and that’s ok. He’s a man and that’s actually a good thing for your children to experience.
Being overwhelmed as a woman doesn't make you a bad spouse. It’s a signal that something needs to change.
If you’re going to frame your spouse as the problem it’s not going to go well. If you frame your spouse as your teammate then you can work together and that’s really important.
Love and respect are something that husbands and men are designed to need.
If you’re stretching yourself way beyond your capacity then that’s where the negative things start to happen.
Wives, you don’t want your husband going to someone else for emotional support. You want him to go to you.
