How to See Your Spouse with New Eyes: Getting Rid of Self-Deception

We often assume the way we see our spouse is simply the way they are. But actually, most of us see our spouse through a distorted filter. My Dad recently had cataract surgery. When the cataracts were removed, he was surprised how much clearer and whiter his vision was—he had assumed for years that the way he saw them was simply the way they were. But in reality it was not the way they were—it was the way he saw them. The same is true for us. We see our spouse through a filter that distorts who they really are. Today on the podcast I’ll talk about this filter, how we develop this filter, what problems it creates and how to remove it.

What you’ll learn on the podcast

• How we develop a distorted view of our spouse
• Why it’s a problem that we don’t see our spouse as they are
• What doesn’t work to remove the filter
• How it DOES work to remove this filter
