161: Why are police marriages and relationships so hard? (And what we should do about it)
Manage episode 455297088 series 3539627
I appreciate the applicant who asked this question- way to be aware and set up for success!
Frequently, we say and hear, “marriage is hard.” We say first responder marriages are harder. In this acknowledgement, are we acknowledging higher likelihood for defeat? Do we give ourselves “an out” too easily?
In this episode, I cover some of the points I outlined in a recent Police 1 column article, tackling the topic, much of it a genesis from many conversations I’ve had on Blue Grit Radio with mental health and relationship experts.
I lay out the main aggravators to a healthy police relationship so we can better understand and then what to DO about it, so we can thrive rather than become another statistic. Beyond the article, I share some of my personal experience and lessons learned in what caused harm and what ultimately helped (and is still helping!)
