I want you to think about the last time you felt defensive. Maybe your husband questioned something you did, or your mother-in-law made a comment about how lucky you are to be married to him, or your child told you that you loved their sibling more than you love them. Whatever it was, I want you to think about that and how it made you feel. In this episode, I talk about the 4 steps to take the next time you feel defensive. It’s human to feel that way, but I’ve found these steps help me get through it instead of feeling crummy about it.

Ready to stop feeling angry at your husband

before he even walks through the door at night?

Not keeping score doesn’t require you to keep quiet and silently seeth while doing everything on your own. It does help you let go of anger and resentment and focus on solutions instead of scoreboards. It means you make room for working together instead of feeling isolated and alone.
