Enter Gaoler and Wooer

I may depart with little While I live, Something I may cast to you, not much Alas, the prisoner I keep, Though it be for great ones, yet they seldom come But for one summon'd, you shall take a number of minnows I am given out to be better lined Than it can appear to me report is a true speaker I would I were really that I am delivered to be Marry, what I have, be it what it will, I will assure upon my daughter at the day of my death

This episode is titled, Myths About Arguments.

When it comes to marriage and relationship, there are a lot of myths out there.

Here are five of the most common.

Myth number one, good couples don't argue.

The presence or absence of arguments is not a good indicator of the health of a marriage.

Some couples who don't argue are living detached, parallel lives.

They've essentially checked out of the marriage and have given up caring.

These couples are vulnerable to emotional and sexual affairs and or divorce.

Laura spent 32 years married to a narcissist.

And rather than keep that experience private, She turned her pain into a platform.

Her best-selling book, Married to a Nice Guy, Getting Over Narcissistic Abuse, draws from her own journal entries and lived experience.

And readers say it reads like a lifeline.

She has since added a second book, There is Hope, 52 Keys to Healing After Divorce, and now offers one-on-one coaching for women ready to start over and reclaim their power.

But you know, I mean, the statistic is low, but there are diagnosed narcissists, right? Sometimes they're, I mean, maybe they're just doing it to shut you up.

And then, but now they have it as a weapon.

So I experienced a covert narcissist, which why my book is named Married to a Nice Guy.

I'm Jane Kopp here, and you're listening to Happy in the Middle, a podcast for Christian women navigating marriage, family relationships, and the beautiful work of becoming who God created them to be.

As the Christian Marriage Coach, each week I offer practical tools and faith-filled conversations to help women just like you create deeper connection, healthier communication, and a life and marriage they love coming home to.

Let's dive in.

One of the hardest spots to get to in your marriage is a place where years have gone by, you've drifted further and further from your spouse, and you're feeling very, very lonely in your marriage.

I know firsthand what I'm talking about.

My husband and I went through this drift, and it was excruciating.

We had been very good partners at running a family.

I still loved him.
