Do you ever feel pressure or find it challenging to manage expectations in dating and relationships? In this special episode recorded on Valentine's Day 2024, host Mind Linscombe & her husband Jordan tackle 11 myths around dating and relationships to help you alleviate some pressure, clear up potential confusion, and level set expectations. These include: 

  1. You have to find your spouse in college
  2. Always having to have a regular date night
  3. Never going to bed angry
  4. You need to find “the one”
  5. Good relationships are easy
  6. Your partner should complete you
  7. Great partners are never attracted to anyone else 
  8. Perfect relationships do not have serious conflicts
  9. Relationships have to be 50/50
  10. If you have a good relationship, you should be happy all the time 
  11. Expectations around the holidays and being with family

Jordan & Mindi have been married since 2005 and have since learned how to better manage expectations in their relationship. However, most of what they learned was through the school of hard knocks and investing in some counseling. They wish they had better perspective on these myths and assumptions earlier in their relationship. So, that's why The Something New Show is bringing you this episode so you can be your best and set even better expectations in your dating/relationship journey.
