If We Don’t Blame Our Spouse, How Do We Find Justice?

A client asked the question, “Well, if we don’t blame our spouse when things go wrong, what do we do? How do we find justice?”

It was such a good question because I think this is what a lot of us are actually looking for in conflict.

But… relationships are not courtrooms. If every conflict requires a plaintiff, a defendant, evidence, a verdict, and a sentence, eventually both people become very good attorneys.
And very lonely spouses.

My six-year-olds favorite line to quote currently from Batman….“What are we having for breakfast?” In a deep, raspy voice…..“Justice.”A client asked the question, “Well, if we don’t blame our spouse when things go wrong, what do we do? How do we find justice?”It was such a good que...

A different kind of counseling space.

Warm rooms. Natural light. Comfortable couches. Mountain views and more often than not with Beth, Lizzy or Ryan, a visitor outside the window. 🦌

Counseling in Colorado Springs, right by Garden of the Gods.

Pain Needs a Villain: Why We Blame When We Hurt

When life falls apart, our minds ask the same questions almost automatically.

Whose fault is this?
Why did this happen?
Who failed me?

Whether we’re grieving a loss, navigating betrayal, processing trauma, or simply overwhelmed by the chaos of everyday life, the human brain desperately wants an explanation. It wants certainty. It wants order.

Most of the time, that search for certainty leads us to a villain.

Few pieces of relationship wisdom are quoted more often than, “Don’t let the sun go down on your anger.”

For generations, many couples have interpreted that to mean, “We have to solve this tonight.”
While that interpretation is well intentioned, it has likely caused unnecessary pain for many relationships.
