Empathy in marriage isn’t about having the perfect response. Instead of rushing to "fix it" mode, try saying, “That’s understandable.” Feeling understood is often exactly what your spouse needs.

Saying “I’m sorry” matters in marriage. But what if we got better at seeing the moments that lead to an apology? Listen instead of defending. Pause before reacting. Grab one of Ted’s books for more practical wisdom for a stronger marriage. bit.ly/3UTxANp

Marriage has a way of exposing what's already there.
Our spouse often isn't creating our impatience, defensiveness, or frustration. They're revealing it. The good news? What gets revealed can also be healed.
