In this week’s episode, I wanted to address what I see so many couples falling prey to and that is talking to EVERYONE about your relationship! There are so many reasons why this can damage your relationship. Often times, if there is a problem or concern, you haven’t addressed it with the ONE person who has the power to help you fix it!

This is why I believe in what Mark Manson calls “radical honesty” in relationships. It requires incredible courage to do AND it requires KINDNESS at every turn. I believe that you should be able to express yourself fully and completely, WITHOUT the fear that someone will leave or shut down.

Remember, conflict is a necessary ingredient to have true intimacy in your relationship. Couples who NEVER argue or disagree probably aren’t being their authentic selves. Make a habit to take your concerns directly to your partner FIRST before running it by a trusted friend or confidante. Yes, I think we all need to vent or get wise counsel regarding our relationship concerns. I just want you to make sure you aren’t talking to just anybody and everybody (especially on social media!) about your relationship!
