Marvelous Expectations for Your Marriage

From Dr. Ross:

I have officiated at over 300 marriages. In the process, I noticed that many brides and some grooms think it\u2019s like they are in a Hallmark movie.

The bride thinks the guy she\u2019s in love with is Mister Perfect, her long-awaited soul mate, the kindest most generous most loving man she\u2019s ever met. She thinks.

And the guy thinks something similar \u2013 she\u2019s beautiful, she\u2019s kind, and not only that, she likes me! What more could a guy want? He wonders.

Then they get married. The bride soon learns Mr. Perfect, isn\u2019t perfect \u2013 he\u2019s flawed. The groom finds out she\u2019s not the fantastic figure of feminine flawlessness he thought he married.

How is it that two people so in love with each other can one day wake up, look at the person lying in bed with them and wonder, \u201cwho is that woman, next to me?\u201d or \u201cWho is that stranger I let into my bedroom?\u201d

The problem is EXPECTATIONS. That\u2019s what this podcast is about \u2013 what each mate expects out of their marriage and how to deal with their differences. Want to be closer to each other? Listen to this podcast!

The podcast is 9 Minutes long.
