Hello MND'ers! In this episode, we have some fun trading a few stories about our past and discussing the role(s) expectations play when shopping for Christmas presents (or any present for that matter). From there we move on to our primary topic series, Priorities and Expectations, where we discuss the following:   

• Does having daily expectations in a relationship create a lack of appreciation for one another? 
• How does one reconcile when we or our partners stop recognizing our contributions to the relationship?
• What if the behavior and lifestyle that makes you happy, make your spouse unhappy?
