[@chad1755]

Agree, but it can be a problem if you've decided to commit to marriage before you even get to know that person. I know lots of conservative christian couples who have bought into this "courtship for marriage" idea, and that essentially means an unspoken commitment to get married before they've even really gotten to know each other. In that case you've put the idea marriage ahead of loving that person. But I definitely agree that you should be dating with marriage in mind, if that means, having an ear to the future and continually asking the question to yourself, "can I love this person for the rest of my life?", as opposed to dating because its fun in the moment.

Nothing replaces shared vision, developed in intimacy, not designed to be published on glossy paper

[@terriesmith2616]

The fact that she said, "Power Couple" already tells me she wants a social media marriage. It's about what their marriage looks like on the outside, rather than what actually makes her husband happy, what makes their marriage happy. How they appear on the surface (to others) is more important to her than actually having a happy marriage on the inside. This man is working a full time job and a side hustle to financially support her and yet she's still demanding more more more. She sounds immature and selfish. If she keeps going at this rate, her husband is going to reach the end of his rope and leave her.

I agree, that is such a weird goal, to become a "power couple". I would think that is something that happens somewhat naturally if they support one another. People also need to realize what gets posted on social media are only the good times. I had a friend that would always post when her boyfriend would give her flowers (supposedly for no reason). After she finally got away from him, she told me that was his "sorry" after his beatings. Don't believe everything you see on social media.

[@sarcodonblue2876]

I see advice from some conservatives about how you should date to marry and tell the person on the first date. If she grew up in a house hold like this and community then of course she will think that this is what she must do. If her parents put on a charade then she will think this is what you must do.

Also, the things on her lists were “I want us to always better and improve ourselves and stay in communication of what we want” because she felt this is something that successful couples do. AND IT IS!!! My mind is honestly blown with people knitpicking that she had a list when it is a very reasonable list from what I can tell.

Whether she's actually nagging or not I think isn't important, important is that something's wrong with her behavior, the husband is sick of it and activated the timer on the marriage and she's feeling it. She knows he's not gonna change, she has to. Up till now she couldn't fathom her behavior being worse than his, but it's starting to get in her head slowly. And the list for the power couple marriage, I think it's rather a list how not to get divorced like their parents. The fact that she handed it to him means she expected him to fix all the problems, while she was leaning back and refuted all accountability. It's like, the typical saying goes "two are needed for a good communication", but from what I see it's usually the woman who breaks the communication (for example with the silent treatment) and the man alone can't fix it. That's just as an example, apparently they do communicate, but she has to partake in solving other problems by adjusting her behavior. The doc doesn't get this, I think. He didn't call her out, he was guessing. When he said marriage shouldn't be a job interview, that was somewhat decent, but I wonder whether it helped her at all.

[@rustymozzy]

Not necessarily. Laughing can be a way to deal with intense or embarrassing confrontation. You've heard of a nervous laugh? Laughter can be a way to show that you're okay or that you're uncomfortable, but you are still feeling safe. Laughter was a way through evolution to convey to a group that the tense moment or accident didn't result in terrible consequences. It's to relieve tension. You know how you feel good after a good laugh after you've been feeling down? Linking laughter to maturity is why so many adults live in such stressful lives. They need to laugh more to remind their body that they're okay, but society demands that everything is serious and every event is the worst thing to ever happen.

It’s so hard when you don’t know what a healthy marriage is supposed to be like in the nitty gritty everyday details. She cobbled together an idea of what it’s supposed to be like. I think the desire for the power couple means to be United and making a positive difference. She experienced the opposite with divorced parents. That need for control so that doesn’t happen to her, I get it. I hope she can let go of the control so she can enjoy him. It’s probably going to be hard, but worth it.

[@sarahtaavetti]

She said “I want to be a Power Couple. So basically, I want someone who is beside me. I want us to always better and improve ourselves and I want to stay in constant communication of what we want”. To be honest, that sounds exactly what a healthy relationship looks like. Sure, there is always a discussion to be had to what level “improving oneself” has to be taken. But in essence, it’s not a crazy demand for a marriage. Heck, someone who values growth and communication are MY expectations of a healthy relationship! I don’t get how she is so harped on!

[@nightmareTomek]

@@sarahtaavetti That line, that both should constantly improve themselves, sounds theoretically good for a relationship. In practice people don't apply it the way they phrase it, and it fails. Example is communication, it's also often said that "a good relationship needs good communication". But what I observe is that women are the ones who destroy the communication when they are angry as a form of emotional punishment for their husband. Theory sounds good, in practice it's to hell in a handbasket. To me it sounded like the power couple wasn't important for her. Instead when she handed him the list, she expected him to make the relationship work and renounced accountability at the same time. That caused her to not expect her behavior to cause problems, until she realized it does when the husband gave her the ultimatum to fix herself. She knew then that he's not gonna change, she has to. She didn't even know how, she had to call psychologists. Women are like this quite often, they are being taught by society that they're angels, so they don't have to learn to control their behaviors and emotions, their bad behavior often even gets excused especially when they're on their period. Even if there's criticism directed at them, they can deflect it with their emotions (by being angry and offended, or hurt). A survey has shown that women who love their husbands hurt them emotionally anyway and on a daily basis without realizing it, and to top it off, they don't even understand it if it's explained to them, unless a very female language about feelings is used. Since you're both women (the OP as well), you might get offended from what I just said. But it's really not my intention to offend, so I hope you think about these words, too.

[@sarahtaavetti]

@@nightmareTomek I get what you are saying in essence: it’s easy to just shove the expectations and accountability to someone else and make them work it out for you. However, that whole sexist prejudice around it is just some made up bullshit in your head man! Some people, and yes, some of them may be women, are like that, but you cannot generalize that. There is a study that shows that women who love their husbands emotionally hurt them and if you try to explain it to them they are too dumb to understand? Sure, buddy. That does not sound made up AT ALL. I get what you are trying to say, but by generalizing a behaviour to all women, you automatically assume, men dont do that and consequently are less likely to discuss the matter with an open mind. You should really reflect on your views on gender roles. Who knows , maybe you learn a thing or two!

[@nightmareTomek]

​@@sarahtaavetti I just learn that I'm right again, as always. You're a woman, ergo you are offended when hearing certain criticism. That's just what I experience. If I were a 6 figure income 6" dude that you would need to convince of a relationship, you'd listen. Otherwise you don't. Unfortunately it's a criticism for women, they need to hear it so they can improve upon, but instead they're being offended and dismiss it on the spot. They can call the critic a misogynist and done. That's a real problem with women today and not a sexist prejudice, you just want to frame it that way to dismiss the criticism and continue with your bad behavior and continue to not accept it's existence. It's not a study, it's a survey. I've read about it years ago, I stumbled on it accidently while looking for something else, and now I can't find it again. Very niche. But there have been articles from women who realized what they were doing, maybe google "emotionally abusing my husband", if you're not completely close-minded. I'm observing the same thing, women get mad and they hurt others emotionally, and no, they don't seem to understand it. Instead I as a child was already told by other men to accept this female behavior with the argument that we can't change it anyway. There are female youtube channels talking about how society is tolerating and excusing bad female behavior. That's why you have a hard time seeing it, you've been taught from a young age that acting out as a woman is completely fine, since you can have your period. It's a real problem, sexist or not. If you'd research it for a while, you'd see that I'm correct.

[@sarahtaavetti]
