This episode of the Relationship Advice podcast explores the value of creating a Non-Negotiables List to establish clear boundaries and expectations in relationships. Colter, Cayla, and Lauren discuss how striking the right balance—neither too rigid nor too lenient—can lead to healthier connections in both dating and marriage. They also offer practical strategies for crafting a personalized list that promotes self-awareness, intentional decision-making, and meaningful communication.


In the episode, we talk about topics such as:

  • Understanding Non-Negotiables
  • Balancing the List
  • Application in Dating
  • Role in Marriage
  • Flexibility / Rigidity
  • and more!
