About this listen
How often do we enter a conflict waiting for the other person to apologize, convinced that they are the problem?
In this episode, we uncover the difficult truth about relationship dynamics: we are often blind to our own reflection. We discuss the concept of being "Root People, not Fruit People"—digging beneath the surface arguments to find the deep-seated behaviors that are actually rotting the relationship.
We also explore the three spiritual pillars of marriage—To Become, To Build, and To Bless—and why "becoming" is the hardest, most painful part of the journey. If you feel like your relationship is stuck in a loop, or if you are preparing to say "I do," this conversation will challenge you to stop seeking validation and start seeking growth.
In this episode, you will learn:
The Mirror Principle: Why it takes us 10 minutes to name our own flaws but only 10 seconds to name our partner’s.
Root vs. Fruit: Why fixing surface-level arguments never heals the relationship.
The Mutation of Selfishness: How undefined character flaws grow like a virus over time.
The Cost of Validation: Why couples ignore red flags in premarital counseling because they’ve already "spent the money."
