Why “That’s Just How I Am” Is Holding Your Marriage Back

Ever used the excuse, “That’s just how I am—I can’t change”? Baloney.

You can change—and in marriage, you need to. Not your personality. Not your core values or beliefs. Those are part of who you are and should remain steady.

But you can grow in how you show up for your spouse.

You can become more willing to listen.

You can grow in empathy and compassion.

You can practice better communication.

You can stop and examine your own behavior instead of pointing fingers.

You can be humble enough to say, “I need help.”

That’s what growth looks like. And if you refuse to grow—if you settle for the status quo—your marriage will stagnate.

In Marriage in Bloom, my six-month marriage intensive, I help couples break free from the “that’s just how I am” mindset and learn the skills that create real, lasting change.
