đ A quick note: I was testing out some new equipment while recording this, so the audio may sound a little off in places. Thanks for your grace as I find new ways to bring these conversations to life.
In this episode, I explore one of the most subtle and sacred tensions in any long-term relationship: the quiet miscommunications that slowly chip away at connectionânot with yelling, but with silence, confusion, and resentment.
We often say we have a âcommunication problem,â but what if the truth is deeper? What if youâre not failingâbut just speaking different emotional languages?
Iâll walk you through:
â Why women seek connection while men seek clarityâand how both get lost in translation
â How âIâm fineâ can carry a hundred meanings
â Why listening first (really listening) is the most loving act
â How past resentment can suddenly erupt as anger in the kitchenâand what it really means
â What it looks like to be slow to speak, quick to listen in your marriage
Whether youâre an introvert married to an extrovert, a feeler partnered with a fixer, or simply two good people who keep missing each other, this episode is a gentle reminder:
You were never meant to be fluent in each otherâs language on day one. Love is not a scriptâitâs a lifetime of learning.
This isnât about winning conversations. Itâs about understanding the heart beneath the wordsâand sometimes, the words left unsaid.
