Ever catch yourself thinking “I just need to find the perfect person and everything will click”? Yeah… we went there. In this episode, we sit down with coach and podcaster Monica Tanner and pull apart some of the most stubborn relationship myths floating around in our heads, especially the ones that sound romantic but quietly mess with our expectations.

We talk about what actually makes relationships work when real life kicks in. Not fantasy compatibility, not never arguing, but how two imperfect people handle differences. The conversation gets into boundaries, conflict, and the uncomfortable but freeing truth that marriage is not a magic fix.

If you have ever wondered whether you're making the search harder than it needs to be, this one will hit close to home. Expect a very real, very human conversation that might slightly ruin the idea of perfection for you, in the best way.
