For this special episode of The Love Clarity Podcast, I sat down with Monica Tanner—relationship coach, podcast host, and author of Bad Marriage Advice—for a vibrant, eye-opening conversation about the myths we inherit about love… and the quiet ways they keep us stuck, silenced, or spinning our wheels.
Whether you’ve ever heard yourself say “I don’t want to rock the boat” or “I guess this is just what marriage looks like,” this episode offers a loving challenge: What if the real problem isn’t your relationship—but the outdated scripts you’ve been taught to follow?
Inside this rich and relatable episode, you’ll hear:
💬 Why “Happy Wife, Happy Life” can quietly disempower both partners
🛑 Why “Don’t sweat the small stuff” can turn molehills into mountains
🧠How our brains trick us into solving the wrong problems in marriage
❤️‍🩹 Why relational skills—not just love—are essential for long-term connection
đź“Ł How to make skillful requests that actually get heard and honored
Monica shares grounded, funny, and powerful truths that invite us to stop trying to win the relationship and start learning how to nurture it—with communication, curiosity, and compassion.
So if you’ve been stuck between wanting peace and needing change, this episode will remind you:
You don’t have to keep carrying what was never yours to hold.
You don’t have to fight to be seen.
You just need the right tools… and the right truths.
