💬 Episode Notes:
Social media fosters unrealistic standards — we compare our real relationships to others’ highlight reels.
Expectations evolve over time, but problems arise when partners don’t communicate those changes.
Growth is inevitable; the key is not *if* we’ll change, but *when* and *how* we’ll navigate it together.
Neglecting to prioritize the relationship can lead to emotional distance and complacency.
Healthy couples stay intentional — they don’t take their partners for granted.
Quality time only matters when it’s *intentional* — focused on learning, playing, and growing together.
Many couples mistake reacting for listening; true listening fosters understanding, not defense.
Communication shouldn’t feel like a battlefield — responding calmly invites connection.
Boundaries are vital, even in healthy relationships, and discussing them openly builds trust.
Boundary violations may happen, but repair and respect define strong partnerships.
