Scenario

When couples have fundamentally different approaches to medical decision-making

My husband and I have completely different relationships with doctors and medical authority — I research everything and want to understand options while he just wants to trust whatever they say — and we're realizing this difference is creating tension every time either of us has a health issue. We've never actually talked about why we approach medical decisions so differently or what we each need from the other when we're scared.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You're discovering that unexamined differences in how you relate to medical authority are creating distance precisely when you most need to support each other.
