How to Deal With a Spouse Who Doesn't Want Change | Dr. David Hawkins

How can you get your spouse to change? The answer is simple - you can’t. You can’t make anyone change.
But so many people spend considerable time and effort trying to get another person to change. In our work with couples, we have found that people often fall into 2 categories when it comes to their relationship. There’s the over-functioner - the one who does everything and anything to fix the relationship. They try to convince, cajole, pressure and manipulate the other person to change. Then there’s the under-functioner, the one who thinks things aren’t that bad, thinks you’re blowing things out of proportion, and doesn’t make any effort to address the problematic issues. The more you over-function, the more your partner is likely to under-function and it becomes a downward spiral. Find out what you can do instead to bring about healthy change in your relationship.
