Validation is killing your marriage!

Validating your partner only works if you actually want to understand them. When you validate to avoid the fight, keep the peace or get something back, it's a covert contract, and your partner can feel it. Get curious first. Validate second.

Cass and Kathryn Morrow explain why "robot validation" leaves couples more disconnected, and what to do instead.

🔑 What we cover:
- What validation really means (and why it's not just saying the words)
- Validation without curiosity turns into fawning and codependency
- "Happy wife, happy life" as a covert contract
- How real validation builds emotional safety and deeper intimacy
- "Why are you trying to therapy me?"
- The "I understand, baby" mistake when she says she's leaving
- Where validation fits in the STAT response
- Curiosity first: know what you're validating

For husbands and wives who keep saying "I understand" and keep getting the same fight.

Part 1 of 2. Watch the next episode for what to validate (the emotion, not the behavior).
