You Didn’t Marry the Wrong Person: You’re Just in This Stage


Listen Later

You didn’t marry the wrong person — you’re just in a stage of your relationship.

In this episode, John Kim sits down with attachment expert Thais Gibson to break down the six stages of a relationship — and why so many couples get stuck thinking something is “wrong” when nothing is actually broken.

We talk about:

  • Why attachment styles are not labels, and how they can be rewired
  • The difference between dating, honeymoon, and the power struggle stage
  • Why most couples struggle after the honeymoon — and how to move forward
  • How early conditioning shapes adult relationships
  • What healthy long-term love actually looks like
  • If relationships have ever felt confusing, discouraging, or overwhelming, this episode gives you language, context, and relief.
