Tip #2: Listen to your spouse’s priorities
Sometimes, seeking our type of security can make our partner feel less secure about theirs. It turns out that Avery’s husband Liam had a very different highest priority: to create financial security for his family.
He wanted to stick with a budget to be stable and be able to occasionally surprise his wife with good things. So, when Avery made large purchases without discussion – and without regard for her husband’s values in this area – she not only thwarted his goals but communicated that she didn’t care about his priorities.
Needless to say, ignoring one partner’s priorities is not a good long-term strategy for success!
