Stop Assuming, Start Asking: The Secret to Deeper Connection in Long-Term Relationships
In this episode, Bri and Mark get real about a sneaky pattern that shows up in long-term relationships—the assumption trap. After 16 years together, they’ve learned that deeply “knowing” your partner can sometimes lead to miscommunication, disconnection, and silencing the other person’s experience.
Whether it’s reading each other’s facial expressions or energy shifts and assuming you know what’s going on, this habit can actually shut down intimacy. In this conversation, they explore how making room for curiosity instead of conclusions can rebuild connection—especially during busy seasons like parenting young kids.
This is a must-listen for couples who’ve been together for a while and want to avoid falling into autopilot.
