Have you ever thought, “My marriage would be a lot easier if my spouse had a personality more like mine”? If so, you’re not alone. We’ve all had moments where something about our spouse’s unique wiring annoys us. Listen in as we talk about what you can do in those moments when your spouse’s personality drives you nuts.

3 Things You Can Do When Your Spouse’s Personality Drives You Nuts

  1. Consider your spouse’s upbringing and past influences.
  2. Respect your spouse’s individual wiring even when you don’t understand it.
  3. Pick your spouse instead of picking a battle.

Us Time Challenge
