Episode 2081:
In "Marriage is the Real Problem" by Dr. Kelly Flanagan, the author explores the inherent challenges of marriage through a vivid narrative that begins with a couple's argument over the color of a coffee mug. This anecdote unfolds into a profound commentary on how couples often misidentify their partner as the problem within their marriage, rather than confronting the true difficulties of life together. Flanagan advocates for a radical acceptance and understanding within marriage, suggesting that the real purpose of this union is not to solve personal inadequacies but to stand united against larger societal issues, transforming marriage into a force for global change and compassion.
