4 Reasons Your Spouse Gets So Defensive
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It’s crazy-making when you’re trying to have a conversation with your spouse and they instantly put their walls up. You bring up a concern, ask a question, or try to address an issue and you’re met with excuses, blame, anger, or shutdown. Why does that happen?
In this episode, we talk through four reasons defensiveness shows up in marriage and what may be happening under the surface. We also discuss how to have conversations that result in understanding and connection instead of escalating into painful arguments.
