Message: “#47 The List – Be Parental with Your Spouse” from Bret Legg

We are continuing in our series called “The List.” The list refers to a list of ways you can lose your marriage and is based on information gleaned from over 20 years of counseling records and watching marriages fail. Today, we’re going to look at another way to lose your marriage and that is to be parental with your spouse. It’s a fact of life that spouses will occasionally tell one another what to do. When done kindly and respectfully, there’s usually no problem. But it becomes a threat to a marriage when one spouse is continually coming across as parental. In this episode, we’ll look at the signs that you’re being parental, as well as how this happens and what you can do about it.
