Are Your Marriage Expectations Too High? Here’s How to Tell
In this episode, Zane and I chat about expectations in marriage: what’s healthy, what’s unrealistic, and how to tell the difference. In fact, this conversation came out of a session we recently had with our young marrieds small group, and it prompted us to reflect on our own 38 years of marriage.  We talk through the areas where expectations can easily create tension—like communication, household roles, and finances—and share six practical questions you can use to evaluate whether your expectations are realistic or ridiculous.  Through honest conversation and real-life examples, our hope is to help you identify what may be causing frustration and move toward a more grace-filled, realistic approach to your marriage. 6 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF TO EVALUATE YOUR MARRIAGE EXPECTATIONS: Would this expectation reasonably apply to most healthy adults, or does it require a unique skill set, luck, or a specific personality? Is this something my spouse can fully control? Is this expectation sustainable over time? Am I consistently offering what I expect from my spouse? How often does this expectation lead to disappointment and resentment in me? Where is this expectation coming from within me?   WHERE TO LISTEN The SavvyCast is available on all podcasting platforms and YouTube.
