Rebeccah Silence draws on 15 years of couples work to identify three expectations that sabotage relationships. Expecting your partner to be your primary source of feeling loved is a setup for failure. A partner's role is to reflect truths about the relationship and self, not to fill you up.

Let's talk about expectations. Because I have, after 15 years of private practice work with couples specifically, I've seen over and over again where we expect our partner to be the source of our experience of love. There's three expectations that can sabotage you and one that can turn things around. So let's talk about what these three are. So number one, the expectation that your partner or a partner should be the source of love. The one providing the experience of love that you want to be having. It is a set up to fail your partner's job or another person's job is not to make you feel loved, is not to fill you up. It's to help you see the truth about the relationship with yourself.
