Podcast Episode 116: What If My Spouse Doesn’t Want to Grow?

Jan 18, 2014 | In The Loop

In The Loop with Andy Andrews, hosted by David Loy

 

On this week’s episode, Andy discusses a listener question: I’m making an effort in positive personal development, but my spouse is not ready to do the same. What do you do until they’re ready, or how do I continue to nudge them in the right direction without being “pushy” or making them feel inferior?

 

This is a huge source of confusion is marriages. We all grow at different…

• Rates

• Times

• Areas

 

Confidence or Arrogance? 

• Don’t brag about the improvements that you are making.

• It is hard for a spouse to listen to someone whom they perceive as arrogant.

• What you are doing speaks louder than anything you could say.

 

 

A good marriage is a work in progress. If you and your spouse were exactly alike, one of you would be unnecessary.
