About this listen
Why do so many marriages feel anxious, tense, or disconnected — even when there’s no major conflict?
In Episode 106 of High Performance Parenting, Greg and Jacquie Francis explain how misaligned expectations and misunderstood differences quietly create anxiety in marriage — and how embracing God’s design brings peace and connection.
They cover:
- How expectations + unmet reality create anxiety
- Why personality differences aren’t flaws
- How trying to “fix” your spouse damages connection
- Why celebrating quirks builds trust
- How adjusting expectations brings peace
- Why God designed your spouse exactly as they are
This episode is a powerful reminder that connection grows when understanding replaces comparison.
