Unspoken Expectations: How Lack of Communication Silently Kills Your Marriage

Hello, Beautiful Souls. It’s Amanda here, your intuitive empath, certified life coach, and marriage mentor. In this episode, we’re tackling one of the sneakiest (and most common) relationship killers: unspoken expectations.

Let’s be real—your spouse can’t read your mind, and yet so many of us expect them to just know what we need. That’s when silent resentment creeps in and starts quietly chipping away at your connection.

In this episode, I’m getting real about why unspoken expectations are so damaging and how a lack of communication can slowly suffocate your marriage. But don’t worry—I’m also sharing how to turn it all around with compassion, clarity, and connection.

I’ll walk you through three powerful shifts you can make today:

1. Drop the Mind-Reading Game
   Stop hoping your partner will just know what you need. Speak it out loud with love. Clear is kind—vague is frustrating.
2. The “Ask, Don’t Assume” Rule
   Before jumping to conclusions, ask yourself—Did I actually say this out loud? Replace assumption with honest, open-hearted questions.
3. Schedule Deep, Meaningful Conversations
   Set aside 20 minutes each week to connect without distractions. No kids, no phones—just you two checking in emotionally and spiritually.

These small shifts can make a huge difference in how connected, supported, and seen you both feel in your marriage.

Takeaway: A little communication goes a long way. Let’s stop guessing and start growing—together.
