Dr Rick Netshiozwi | MARITAL INCOMPETENCE: When You Love Someone but Don’t Know How to Be Married

MARITAL INCOMPETENCE: When You Love Someone but Don’t Know How to Be Married What is marital incompetence? Can someone genuinely love their husband or wife and still lack the emotional, relational and practical skills required to build a healthy marriage? In this powerful marriage and relationship counselling session, Dr Rick Netshiozwi explores marital incompetence, the inability to consistently perform the emotional, relational, communicative and practical responsibilities required to sustain a healthy marriage. Many marriages do not struggle simply because love has disappeared. Sometimes the problem is that one or both spouses have never developed the skills, emotional maturity, communication ability, accountability, conflict-resolution skills and relational intelligence necessary to function effectively in marriage. This conversation examines the difference between loving someone and knowing how to love them well. IN THIS VIDEO, YOU WILL LEARN: • What marital incompetence means • Signs of an incompetent husband or wife • Why love alone cannot sustain a marriage • How poor communication damages relationships • Emotional immaturity in marriage • The inability to resolve conflict effectively • Lack of accountability between spouses • How defensiveness affects marriage • Why some spouses struggle to apologise • Emotional neglect and emotional disconnection • How unresolved trauma can affect marital behaviour • The importance of emotional intelligence in marriage • Why repeated mistakes eventually destroy trust • The difference between marital problems and marital incompetence • How couples can develop healthier relationship skills • Whether marital incompetence can be corrected • Practical principles for rebuilding a struggling marriage Marriage requires more than attraction, chemistry, sex, money or good intentions. It requires competence. You must learn how to communicate when you are angry, listen when you disagree, apologise when you are wrong, regulate your emotions, manage conflict, create emotional safety, understand your spouse, establish healthy boundaries, handle finances responsibly, maintain intimacy and continue developing as a husband or wife.
