Unresolved Trauma +Poor Communication = ?

Rich Relationships Refuge with Gil & Renée

What Problems Did you Bring into Your Marriage?
Ever wondered how past traumas can sneak into your current relationships and cause unexpected turmoil? On this episode of the Rich Relationship Podcast, Gil and Renee explore the depths of unresolved issues from the past, using poignant personal stories to illustrate their impact. Get ready to hear about Renee's childhood aversion to oranges and the family dynamics that shaped her views on submission. Plus, discover how past relationship experiences, like the infamous gas station incident, can come back to haunt you if not properly addressed.
Miscommunication and unmet expectations can be silent killers in any relationship. We dive into the necessity of articulating personal needs clearly to avoid misunderstandings and recurring conflicts. Learn practical tips for better communication and the importance of extending grace and empathy. Understand the difference between personal standards and inner vows, and how recognizing these can transform your relationship. Conflict is not just inevitable but can be an opportunity for growth if approached correctly.
Finally, we talk about the importance of God-honoring relationships, particularly in marriage, and the positive role social media can play in showcasing these values. Drawing from our 35 years of marriage and 19 years of working with couples, we emphasize the need for professional mental health support and encourage seeking therapy. Don't miss out on our wealth of content, including 900 videos, books, and live sessions. Thank you for being a part of our journey, and we look forward to connecting with you soon!
