In Episode 8 of Real Life with Drs. Greg & Cheryl Clarke, we’re talking about family expectations, marriage, and the tension between showing up for everyone else and protecting your time together. Birthdays, holidays, reunions, Sunday dinners—when does an invitation start feeling like an obligation? And what happens when you and your spouse don’t agree about going? Join us for an honest conversation about: • Navigating family expectations without letting guilt make the decision • Respecting your spouse’s needs while staying connected to family • Setting boundaries without turning every “no” into a conflict • Finding a balance between family connection, rest, and your relationship You can love your family and still have limits.
