Growing Up Together: Dealing with Blame, Tantrums, and Avoidance

Doing Marriage Well · Sep 9, 2026 · 2m · transcript

This episode examines common ways couples fail to 'adult' in marriage: avoiding difficult conversations, playing the blame game, refusing accountability, throwing tantrums, and using hobbies or work to avoid connection.

Practical guidance is offered: address issues promptly, call out harmful behaviours, focus on increasing connection rather than limiting activities, seek help when needed, and practise grace while expecting adult responsibility in the relationship.
