Show off (a little) (DW#545)
Make no mistake: this habit (which we think is harmless fun) is destructive for our relationships. Our spouses do not think it is funny or cute when we are sharing their idiosyncrasies in public.
This habit is also destructive in another way. It normalizes low expectations from men and marriage, and it normalizes talking about our spouses in a disrespectful way. It is no wonder that modern society in general and young people in particular are so disenchanted with the institution of marriage.
So instead of complaining about your marriage or your spouse, try this hack: Try bragging a little. Compliment your spouse in public. Point out their positive qualities. Talk about what they are good at. Show enthusiasm for what makes them so special.
Don’t be surprised if after doing this a few times, you begin to realise how lucky you are to be married to this person!
And your spouse might also begin feeling the same way about you. .
