About this episode

Michelle Hays discusses how assumptions about a partner's behavior can create distance in marriage and the importance of curiosity in fostering connection.

In this week's episode of Monarch for Love, Michelle Hays explores how the stories we create about our partner's behavior often shape our feelings more than the behavior itself. Learn why assumptions create disconnection, how curiosity creates connection, and how one simple question can transform the way you experience your marriage. The meaning comes first. The emotion follows. And that awareness can change everything. Before you assume the worst about your spouse, listen to this conversation—it could completely change how you see your marriage.🔗 Website: www.monarchforlove.com 📘 Book: www.awakenedheartsbook.com Instagram: @Monarchforlove TikTok @monarchforlove
