Perfectionist Husband vs “Just Do It” Wife

Описание: What do you do when you and your spouse want the same outcome… but you can’t agree on the way to get there? 😩🤍

In Episode 281, a newlywed writes in with a marriage tension that feels small at first… until it affects everything: perfection vs progress.

She’s the type who believes action brings clarity. Even a “no” teaches you what you need for the next attempt. Her husband is the type who wants things to be perfect before moving forward because failure feels costly and overwhelming.

The conflict shows up most clearly in their immigration process. After multiple denials, she wants to keep moving, adjusting, and re-submitting. But her husband wants to pause for months to make sure the next application is flawless… because the stakes are real.

We talk about how fear can disguise itself as “I just want it done right,” when perfection is wisdom and when it becomes avoidance, and how couples can stay aligned even when they don’t agree. We also get into what it looks like to bring in expert help, stop turning everything into a tug-of-war, and learn how to hear what’s really underneath your spouse’s approach. 💬🧠

Have you ever been the “let’s just move” person… married to someone who needs it to feel perfect first? 👀✨
