14. Chit-Chat: Stop Assuming Your Partner Feels Loved! | How to Improve Communication in Relationships
In this week’s chit-chat episode, we’re tackling one of the biggest relationship pitfalls: assumptions. It’s easy to assume that your partner feels loved, understood, or valued, but what if they don’t? We reflect on how unspoken expectations can create tension, why couples misinterpret each other’s love languages, and how small shifts in communication can make all the difference. Plus, we dive into the response to a viral TikTok moment from our past episode, where Amy and Blair discuss vulnerability, affirmation, and the nuances of expressing love.
👀 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why assumptions in relationships can lead to misunderstandings
- How different love languages impact how we give and receive love
- A practical way to check in with your partner (without it feeling awkward)
- The importance of verbal affirmation and why some people struggle with it
- A relationship challenge to deepen connection with your partner
