  • Counselling Feature: How do we Reconcile our Differences in Marriage
    Oct 16 2024

    “[Couples] all have good intent, but the expression looks different… it’s helping them find common ground, [where they realise] they're actually not against each other.” – Madelin Tay

    It is inevitable for differences to arise in marriage, so how do we go about navigating them?

    Joined by Madelin Tay, a counsellor from Focus on the Family Singapore, we discuss common sources of conflict, and how couples can adopt a growth mindset to work through them. She also shares practical tips on how addressing differences constructively helps couples strengthen their bond instead of pushing them apart.

    Tune in for valuable insights on reconciling differences in marriage.
