191: Your Marriage Isn't Broken, It's Paused feat. Dr Lee Baucom

Anger as a Secondary Emotion and Graciousness

Lee Baucom explains that anger is always a secondary emotion driven by underlying hurt, fear, or threat. He suggests that instead of meeting anger with anger, partners should be curious about what is causing the distress. The discussion touches on the irony of people being more gracious to strangers or teammates than to their own spouses, urging a return to kindness within the home.
