Summary
Could you be accidentally and unintentionally DESTROYING your relationship? Pro tip from a marriage counselor: Many, many people are... and literally have no idea.
I think I know why. Everyone with an Instagram account is posting things about what they think you should do to have a great relationship—communication tips, romantic date ideas, etc.—but let’s be real... sometimes, it's more important to know what NOT to do! And nobody talks about that!!
That’s why today, we’re flipping the script on the usual relationship advice you hear. 💥
In this episode, we’re breaking down the 12 Most Effective Ways to Destroy Your Relationship (so you can avoid them like the plague).
Trust me, as a marriage counselor, I’ve seen it all. Whether it’s neglecting your partner or constantly blaming your “issues” when you behave badly, even the strongest couples can unknowingly make these mistakes. But don’t worry, I’m not here to throw shade—I'm here to help you laugh, learn, and most importantly, grow! 🌱
By the end of this, you’ll not only recognize these pitfalls, but also walk away with actionable tips to make sure you’re NOT sabotaging your love life. 🙌
Here's what you'll learn: ⏱️
00:00 Intro: The 12 Biggest Relationship Mistakes
02:36 Mistake #12: Making the Relationship ALL About You
04:36 Mistake #11: Blaming Everything on Your Issues
08:26 Mistake #10: Neglecting Your Partner (The Silent Killer)
11:20 Mistake #9: Too Much Togetherness (Yikes!)
And all the way down... to the number one biggest relationship killer!
