Shownotes

Hard conversations don’t usually fail because of the topic—they fail because of how they start.

In this episode, we share a simple, practical framework for bringing up difficult topics in marriage without triggering defensiveness or conflict. Learn how the first minute of a conversation can change everything and how to invite your spouse into connection instead of control.

🔗 Resources Mentioned
