Java with Juli - Making Sense of God and Sex · How to Make Better Decisions As a Couple, #616 · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

Or do we really need our alone time?

And so there's all these littler decisions that you're constantly making as a couple.

And while one decision like that won't make or break you, I think we become maybe kind of like, naive to the fact that the patterns of how we make decisions does impact you.

And that's really what I want to talk about more today is like, how do you get into a pattern of making decisions together so it doesn't undermine your marriage?

Because we learned from it.

Yeah.

Yeah, it makes sense.

I mean, I think particularly earlier on in marriage, you tend to dig in more because of what decisions represent.

And for me, like that financial decision represented like security versus risk and just wanting to be a good steward of our resources.

And so there's a lot more into it than just which car do we buy.

And that's why, as you're saying, the communication is so key.

But when we talk about those smaller decisions, like let's take the example of, you know, like I just mentioned, if we're going to go out for dinner, where do we go?

And if one person is always making that decision and the other one's like, I don't care.

Or, you know, one person never even asked the other.

It's a small decision, but you're setting a pattern where one person doesn't feel heard and doesn't learn to use their voice.

And so I think that's the other thing, you know, that we need to get into is how do you know that as a couple, you have a good rhythm of how to make decisions together.

Did you even hear what I said?

Well, hey, I booked the reservation for anniversary.

How it usually plays out is you say, where do you want to go?

I say, I don't care.
