Seeing What You Expect: How Focus Shapes Your Marriage
In this episode Paul explains how our brains focus and predict, causing us to miss obvious things or interpret our spouse through expectations. He uses examples—like unfounded jealousy or thinking a partner is angry—to show how focus can create problems.
Paul suggests practical steps: check yourself, assume the best, give the benefit of the doubt, and periodically refocus attention to stay aware of your spouse. Focus is a tool—use it to strengthen your marriage, not to undermine it.
