Saving Your Marriage from the Flames of Negative Override

91: Saving Your Marriage from the Flames of Negative Override

Let’s talk about communication and negative override. 

If you don’t know what that is, it’s when your bad thoughts about your partner and relationship overwhelm and override any positive thoughts. It’s kind of like stockpiling your grievances and keeping track of every offense your partner commits. 

Meanwhile, your bad feelings are just festering and growing. 

Sound familiar? 

In this episode of Couch Time, I’m diving into true communication and what is really going on when you and your partner are experiencing negative sentiment override. 

This is arguably the quickest way to put out your marriage fire. So I’m sharing what you need to do in order to get out of this pattern of negativity and get into a place of gratitude and radical acceptance when it comes to your partner.
