S1: No.1 Intimacy Coach: Does Travel Make or Break a Relationship & Warning Signs Couples Miss – Monica Tanner, Author: Bad Marriage Advice & Host: Secrets of Happily Ever After | Yalla Habibi Podcast

About this episode

Monica Tanner discusses the impact of travel on relationships and highlights key warning signs couples often overlook.

We’re joined by Monica Tanner this week, a certified relationship and intimacy coach, keynote speaker, and author with over two decades of real marriage experience, to put our relationship under the microscope and answer the question at the heart of this series, does travel make or break a relationship, and what actually determines the outcome? We get into what a modern relationship actually looks like today, who really defines it, and the warning signs couples often miss until it is too late. You’ll hear why arguments seem to show up faster when you travel together, how money quietly creates tension, and what separates couples who thrive from those who don’t. We also challenge the advice you’ve likely heard your whole life, from never going to bed angry to happy wife happy life, and why it might be doing more harm than good. By the end, we strip it all back to what really matters and what travel might reveal in your own relationship that everyday life can hide.
