Are you stuck waiting for them to get on board? Marriage coach Julie Tran says no. Julie\u2019s own marriage reached a point where she and her husband loved each other, but didn\u2019t particularly like each other. They were having the same arguments, walking on eggshells, and feeling more like roommates than partners. She wanted to work on the relationship. He wasn\u2019t exactly racing to join her. So Julie stopped waiting for him to change and started looking at what she could do differently. In this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, we talk about how one person can begin changing the dynamic of a marriage without taking responsibility for the entire relationship.
