Summary

In this episode, in recognition of this being episode 666, we go a bit dark and discuss the concept of normal marital sadism (a term coined by Dr David Schnarch), which refers to the intentional infliction of pain, cruelty, and hurt within a marriage.

We explore various examples of normal marital sadism, such as poking fun at and embarrassing a spouse, lying to inflict pain, restricting the autonomy of your spouse, and manipulating them to establish compliance or gain dominance.

Our conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing our own capacity for cruelty and the need to address it in order to maintain a healthy and fulfilling marriage.

Takeaways

Normal marital sadism refers to the intentional infliction of pain, cruelty, and hurt within a marriage.

Examples of normal marital sadism include humiliating and demeaning others, lying to inflict pain, restricting the autonomy of others, and manipulating others to establish compliance or gain dominance.

It is important to recognize our own capacity for cruelty and address it in order to maintain a healthy and fulfilling marriage.

Denying the existence of normal marital sadism can lead to its prevalence and negative consequences in a relationship.

0:08.0	Always good to be here. And let's get right ahead of this as we're starting because 12 and a half years in doing the
0:15.4	episodes it's inevitable we're going to hit this episode number you know 666
0:21.9	gross which we've had many conversations over do we just skip this one
0:27.6	do we do something different with it because you know it's associated with darkness and
0:32.0	evil and so instead let's just talk about the
0:35.6	darkness and evil that happens in people today. Let's do. So that's where we're
0:39.9	heading so let's just go ahead and make everybody settle in it's going to be a
0:44.4	little dark but it's coming from goodness and kindness because that's the way
