Fresh Take: Matthew Fray on Strengthening Our Relationships
Description
Matthew Fray is a relationship coach who leans on the lessons of his failed marriage to help others avoid making the same mistakes that he did. He's a 43-year-old single father who is best known for his viral blog post "She Divorced Me Because I Left Dishes by the Sink." Fray is the author of the new book "This is How Your Marriage Ends: A Hopeful Approach to Saving Relationships." Matthew gives us wonderful, poignant insights into how to validate our partners, find out their true needs, and re-establish trust when we've lost it.
In this episode, Matthew, Margaret, and Amy discuss:
- Why we may not realize we're betraying our partner's trust
- Matthew's hierarchy of needs in relationships
- Why couples always have the same fight
