Understanding the "Why": How to Align Priorities With Your Spouse
In this episode of Doing Marriage Well (October 29, 2026), Paul explains how couples can align priorities by understanding the "why" behind each other’s desires and deciding what belongs in their Tier 1 box.
He uses examples like planning a trip to Disneyland and negotiating date nights to show how asking why leads to creative compromises that respect limited time and money.
Paul also cautions against overfilling Tier 1 and encourages making margin a priority so you can do the important things well.
