Dating a Phlegmatic | Catholic Temperaments

Dating (or married to) a phlegmatic? This episode is for you.

Matt and Erin continue our Temperaments in Dating series with a deep dive into the phlegmatic temperament—aka the steady, loyal, harmony-loving “glue” in so many relationships. We walk through practical do’s and don’ts that can help you avoid unnecessary conflict, communicate better, and create an environment where a phlegmatic can actually flourish.

You’ll learn:
•Why rushing or pressuring a phlegmatic backfires
•How criticism can make them withdraw
•Why drama/instability drains them fast
•The truth behind “they’re lazy” (they’re usually just conserving
                energy)
•How to invite vulnerability without forcing it
•How quiet resentment builds—and how to prevent it
•The phlegmatic superpower: steadfastness + consistency
