Questions to Consider
- What if the real enemy in your marriage isn't your spouse's words or actions, but how you've been misinterpreting their hidden longing for love or respect?
- How might recognizing your own misrepresentation of intent—through intense emotion or silent withdrawal—completely shift the blame you place on your partner?
- In what ways could applying the three-step pause, clarify, and repair process turn a recurring fight into a moment of mutual understanding and friendship?
- If men and women are wired differently with pink and blue perspectives, why do we insist on decoding each other's behavior through only our own lens, and what happens when we finally give the benefit of the doubt?
