- Do you struggle with feeling like you can never satisfy your spouse?
- Do you tend to get into arguments with your mate over who’s right or how something should be done?
- Do you ever feel like you’re in competition with your spouse?
If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, then you might be married to or, even worse, “be the perfectionist” spouse in your marriage.
Heaven help you if you are like me—where both you and your spouse are perfectionists! In my marriage, our striving for perfection has caused more failures, especially in our efforts to communicate, than I can begin to tell you. It has left us feeling emotionally insecure—both when we’ve individually blown it, and when we’ve collectively caused a marriage meltdown.
