5 Lies Couples Tell Themselves

In this episode of Relationships Turned On, we’re diving into the five most common lies couples tell themselves that negatively impact their relationship. If you’re ready to stop putting the brakes on your relationship and start seeing real growth, this is the episode for you!

I also share something personal that’s been on my mind—fear. It’s a feeling that can hold us back from making life-changing decisions. But here's the truth: fear isn't always a good indicator of what you should or shouldn’t do. Sometimes the things that scare us the most are the very things we need to step into for growth. I’ll explain how this ties into making your relationship thrive.

Here’s what we’ll cover in this episode:

Fear: Why fear shouldn’t guide your decisions (whether it’s in life or in your relationship)

Lie #1: "We don’t fight, so we must have a great relationship." Why avoiding conflict can actually hurt your relationship The importance of finishing tough conversations for deeper emotional and physical intimacy

Lie #2: "My partner should know how I feel without me telling them." How to stop expecting mind-reading and start clearly communicating your needs

Lie #3: "It’s just a rough patch—it’ll fix itself." Why unresolved issues only get worse over time and how to stop the downward spiral

Lie #4: "Our relationship doesn’t need work. We’re fine as we are." Every relationship needs growth—even the good ones. Here’s how to keep the spark alive

Lie #5: "I’m not the problem, they are." How taking 100% responsibility for your part in the relationship can create positive change

At the end of this episode, I’ll walk you through how to stop these lies from holding your relationship back and how to turn things around for more connection, intimacy, and growth.
