- Love 2.0: How to Fix Your Marriage, Part 2
- Description
- <p>When things go wrong in our relationships, we often try to change the way our partners behave. But usually, trying to fix a person only makes things worse. Last week, we talked to psychologist <a href="https://www.clarku.edu/faculty/profiles/james-cordova/">James Cordova</a> about why this tendency can be so damaging, and what to do instead. This week, we explore another difficult but effective way to strengthen our relationships. Then, on Your Questions Answered, we bring back researcher <a href="https://sph.umich.edu/faculty-profiles/strecher-victor.html">Victor Strecher</a>, who studies purpose. Vic spoke with us in June about the death of his daughter, and how it changed his own outlook on purpose. That conversation, which was called "<a href="https://www.hiddenbrain.org/podcast/you-2-0-what-is-your-life-for/">You 2.0: What Is Your Life For?</a>" had a powerful impact on many listeners. We'll hear Vic's responses to their thoughts and questions. </p><p><i>What have you learned about changing your partner in the course of your relationship? Have you come up with ways to accept your partner's flaws? If you have questions or comments for James Cordova, and you'd be willing to share with the Hidden Brain audience, please record a short voice memo on your phone and email it to us at ideas@hiddenbrain.org. Use the subject line "acceptance." Thanks! </i></p><p><i>The Hidden Brain tour is continuing, with our next stops just a few days away! Join us in Baltimore on October 11 or Washington, D.C. on October 12 to see Shankar live on stage. We'll also be in Los Angeles on November 22, and more dates in 2026 are coming soon.
