In last week’s podcast, I discussed healing your own resentments. This week, we turn to dealing with your spouse’s resentments. Let’s be clear: really, this is about helping your spouse to heal resentments. You can’t actually do the healing. You can only help.

Once you address your own resentments, you know part of the secret: resentment comes from anger, unresolved. Anger comes from hurt, unresolved and unaddressed. Which leads us back to helping your spouse find healing — tracking back to anger, but really back to hurt.

If you want to reconnect, start with dealing with resentments. Otherwise, the hurt/anger/resentment continues to poison the relationship. It is the systemic infection that keeps the marriage hurting.

Time To Really Show Up In Your Marriage!: #50 Save Your Marriage Podcast

We all do it. We play it small. We try to “slide by,” avoid the conflict, and hope something will change.

If you find yourself doing that, time to stop! Life happens, problems end, and relationships improve, only when we finally commit to showing up.

Being present can radically change your relationship. Really being there, present and attentive, can change your entire life.

So why don’t we show up? Past hurts, fears, anger, resentment — they all can get in the way.

But letting those emotions and concerns get in your way only limits your life. They only keep you trapped.

Free yourself and discover how to show up in this week’s podcast.
