The Biggest Communication Mistakes in Every Marriage (and How to Fix Them)
The Family Business with The Alessis: A Christian Parenting and Marriage PodcastAbout this episode
In this episode, we cover our best strategies for improving communication in marriage - so that even your arguments can be turned into opportunities to build a stronger relationship with your spouse.
Communication challenges are at the heart of most relationship struggles, whether it's disagreements over chores, different ways of processing conflict, or mismatched expectations. Couples often find themselves in arguments that seem to go nowhere, but understanding each other's styles and showing empathy can transform these moments into opportunities for growth.
Join Steve and Mary Alessi as they offer practical marriage advice from nearly four decades of experience. They break down common misunderstandings, explain why "repair-rich" marriages thrive despite conflicts, and share ways to express your needs without triggering defensiveness. Learn how simple actions—like genuine apologies, recognizing your partner's strengths, and sharing the responsibility for household tasks—can create a healthier, happier home.
Whether you're a newlywed or a seasoned couple, you’ll get valuable tips on handling arguments, managing emotions, and supporting each other's value system.
