The 90/10 Rule | Taking Your Spouse For Granted

Published: Feb. 15, 2024, 11 a.m.

Adam heard something very interesting on a podcast the other day, which said often they see couples all around them, who are in their mid 40s, get divorced over the 10% of things that frustrate them, or annoy them, or that they wish were different, etc. and they set aside the 90% of things that they love about their spouse. \u201cIt is so easy to get fixated on someone\u2019s 10% if you\u2019re frustrated with your own life.\u201d In preparation of talking about the 10%, talk often about the 90% of things you love about your spouse to soften the blow when it\u2019s time to talk about the 10%.

  • Fixation on the 10% 1:30
  • A lot of the things you learn in marriage can guide raising children 7:30
  • A simple example of showing affection 13:30

\u201cWhat I should really do is learn to embrace it and be like \u2018if he gets his hug, he\u2019s not gonna worry about us being late.\u2019 but I\u2019m used to you not being late, so I\u2019m prioritising rushing to get out, and then it\u2019s like, oh my goodness, I don\u2019t want you to be frustrated because we\u2019re late. It\u2019s like a lose-lose.\u201d 14:05
