"One of the first signs is a diminished or complete lack of curiosity about the other person. We start making assumptions about our partners, interpreting their behaviors, and ascribing narratives/meanings to them that may or may not be true."
"In our field, this ideology is viewed as lazy because, through compromise, one partner's needs and wants are completely scrapped. With the other phrase, resentment can build when partners don't have a safe space to speak about their wants and needs."
"A lack of frequent (daily is great) check-ins that can sound like: 'Is there anything you need?' 'How can I help you today?' These check-ins create space for communication, true reflection, and partnership while simultaneously deepening intimacy."
Many couples unknowingly make mistakes that can harm their marriage. A diminished curiosity about each other leads to assumptions and misinterpretations. Compromise can result in one partner's needs being ignored, fostering resentment. Regular check-ins are essential for maintaining communication and intimacy. These practices help partners express their needs and concerns, creating a supportive environment that strengthens their relationship over time.
