How to Disagree Without Damaging Your Relationship

One of the clearest signs of a healthy marriage is the ability to respect your spouse’s opinion—especially when it’s different from yours.

It’s easy to think your perspective is the “right” one. But when you believe your spouse’s viewpoint is less intelligent, less informed, or less valid, you stop relating to them as an equal partner. And that’s where connection begins to die.

Respect doesn’t mean agreement—it means valuing their voice as much as your own. Because your spouse’s perspective, even when it challenges you, holds a piece of the truth you might be missing.

Healthy marriages aren’t built on sameness; they’re built on mutual respect and humility.
That’s one of the first lessons we work on in Marriage in Bloom, my six-month marriage intensive that helps couples rebuild emotional safety and communication from the ground up.
