83. Expressing Your Needs To Build Better Trust in Your Partnership, w/ Marissa of Forever Marriages

Is it too hard for you to tell them what you need?  Do you feel the weight of their expectation that you can do everything on your own? Because if it’s a “yes,” then I want you to know that you are not alone. But I also want you to remember that you are worthy of being heard, of having your needs met, of receiving support from people you’ve been doing so many things for, most especially from your partner. A lot of discontentment in our relationships is rooted from unmet needs and expectations, which is why this episode with Forever Marriages Coach Marissa is a HUGE game-changer for partnerships and marriages. She quotes, “If you don’t communicate your needs in the first place, how can you expect them to meet that need?” And WOW. That really got me reflecting on some real stuff back there.  Tune in to know why having our needs met directly affects our marriage and relationships 🤔 Want to send Dr. Amber a question or comment to feature on the podcast?
