Can You Go Over the Sleep Apnea Story Again?
A simple argument over a sleep apnea mask revealed a deeper longing for connection and intimacy. Emerson shares a powerful story from the Win-Win Online course that shows why the real issue is rarely the surface issue—and how couples can finally move from repeated conflict to mutual understanding and satisfaction.
Questions to Consider
- What surface-level conflict in your relationship might actually be hiding a deeper need that hasn't been fully expressed?
- How often do you and your spouse assume you know what the other person really wants without slowing down to ask and listen?
- If you viewed your spouse's resistance not as rejection but as an expression of their own longing, how might that change the way you respond?
- What would it look like in your marriage to stop solving the wrong problem and start moving toward each other instead of fighting each other?
