How Good Can Our Marriage Be?

Published: Feb. 28, 2019, 7:09 p.m.

How good can your marriage be? Now there\u2019s a question worth asking!

It\u2019s a good question because it focuses on the strengths of your marriage, rather than the weaknesses.

Lots of marriage specialists like me focus more on the negative side of a marriage relationship. The question is always, \u201cwhat\u2019s the problem?\u201d rather than, \u201cWhat do you two do well together?\u201d

\xa0Fact is, every marriage has weaknesses, and no matter how hard they try, they always will have areas for improvement. So, if your goal is to work constantly to eliminate the weaknesses in your relationship, you have no time nor energy left to develop the good stuff you do together.

\xa0This podcast is the first in a new series of podcasts that answer the question, \u201cHow good can our marriage be?\u201d

\xa0Dr. Ross\u2019s answer to the question is, \u201cFantastic! If you focus on what you love about each other rather than what bugs you about each other.\u201d

\xa0He believes happier marriages begin with a positive mindset and an optimistic outlook on the prospects you have to make what\u2019s good about your marriage even better.
