We all know that one of the fastest ways to someones heart is through their stomach.
I can easily be won over with a delicious, homemade pastry.
But as much as sharing amealcan bring people together, it can also drive a wedge between certain couples.
And if you cant, well, you might be in for a rocky relationship.
Like most things in marriage,foodisnt just food, in some cases.
It can be more about background issues and control issues.
We also asked the expert what spouses should do if they cant agree on what to eat.
But according to the therapist, thats not the issue in this marriage.
One person commented about how she was making money here.
But in reality, it was merely a dishonest shift of resources in the household.
They may have separate accounts.
But in reality, there are resources coming in and resources going out.
The real danger here is in the dishonesty of the shift, he noted.
Money is symbolic, mostly around control and decisions.
The red flag is layered in control and dishonesty.
His control and her dishonesty.
That indicates something is amiss for them.
It is a somewhat manipulative way of proving a spouse wrong, albeit without his knowing it.
And I am guessing that this is true because she fears his reaction, he shared.
But of course, this is not a healthy way of getting what you want from your spouse.
True partnership never benefits from personal attacks nor lies and secrecy.
Those are elements of a struggling marriage… even if neither person is aware of that at the time.
