Should You Marry Them? How To Know If Your Relationship Is Built To Last | Love | E552
You love them. So why can’t you shake the feeling that something might be wrong?
Nothing is bad enough to leave. There’s no glaring red flag. You’re happy… mostly. But when you imagine getting engaged, moving in together, having a baby, or saying this is my person forever, something inside you hesitates.
Do NOT ignore that feeling. But don’t assume it means you should break up, either.
In this episode, I’m sitting down with marriage and family therapist Dr. Benjamin Jones about the yellow, orange, and even beige flags that can leave you questioning your future together…and how to figure out what they actually mean.
Dr. Ben offers a reframe that changes everything: Stop waiting for certainty. Start looking for confidence.
You’ll learn:
How to tell a solvable problem from a real deal breaker
Why you should never marry someone expecting them to change
The question to ask when you love someone but still aren’t sure
Why confidence matters more than certainty
Which relationship problems can actually get better with the right support
Why waiting until after you’re engaged to ask the hard questions may be too late
