08:15 Understanding Types of Difficult People and Reasons for Behavior

Midori Doumani and her husband have a story that might sound familiar. First, they entered their marriage with massive differences in almost every area, from gender roles, to how to do faith, to communication style - it was bumpy from the start. Then, while chasing the American Dream of carers and money and more, more, and more, they found themselves with a marriage on the rocks.

Midori gets honest and detailed about discovering and owning the areas that she needs to grow and change. She talks about how she would get easily triggered and overreact, how she needed constant affirmation from her husband, and more.

After much work, surrender, growth, and learning, their marriage is now thriving.

Joshua & Midori co-founded Simply Midori to teach adults how to have successful relationships.
