Summary:
Jason shares five habits healthy couples avoid to maintain strong, connected relationships.

The Five Habits to Avoid:

  1. Waking each other up to talk when upset—sleep first, discuss later.
  2. Assuming your partner is trying to upset you—differences aren’t disrespect.
  3. Expecting your partner to fix your anxiety—self-regulation is key.
  4. Using distance or avoidance to calm anxiety—space is healthy only if it leads to reconnection.
  5. Feeling entitled to sex—focus on intimacy, not demands.

Final Thought:
Healthy couples are intentional, self-aware, and patient with each other.
