You Want to Work on Your Marriage but Your Spouse Doesn't

It’s not uncommon in long-term relationships for one person to want to work on their relationship, while the other one doesn’t.

This is my 18th video of this “How to Have Hard Conversations” series. If you’d like to follow this series online, follow me on Instagram or TikTok.
