Hello and welcome to the new mindset hootis podcast. My name is Case Kenney at case.kens.k on

Instagram and this is my weekly podcast where I create short no BS episodes dedicated to helping

you become the person you're meant to be, leave your comfort zone and live a purposeful and

fulfilling life. Let's go.

Thank you. live a purposeful and fulfilling New Mindset Who Dis. As always, thank you so much for listening.

Thank you for supporting me. And today, I want to offer what I think is the essential practice that really all happy, long-term, successful couples practice together.

It underpins their relationship. It's what makes it work. It's what allows for the relationship to survive and thrive amidst the ups and downs of life. And it's one practice that I think

then, of course, extends into more specific behaviors. But I think shining a light on this practice

in particular can give you an important mindset that is essential for both partners

to have in a relationship.

And it goes like this.

The happiest couples tell the truth early.

The happiest couples tell the truth early.

They tell the truth.

They're honest with each other before resentment sets in, before silence becomes misinterpreted,

before someone can jump to conclusions or fill in

blanks with unfair judgments. The happiest couples tell the truth early. They bring up the small things.

The comment that really stung, the need that's not being met, they don't wait for it to become a

crisis to communicate, which is, I think,

how so many of us operate. We wait until it becomes too much, and then we're finally honest.

So they practice honesty as a daily practice. They've learned that honesty isn't about conflict.

It's about maintenance. It's about this is what keeps a relationship going and growing.
