The 4 Worst Relationship Myths (And What to Do Instead)

You’ve probably heard things like “never go to bed angry” or “fighting is bad” and assumed they were gold-standard advice for a healthy relationship. But here’s the truth—some of the most popular relationship tips are actually doing more harm than good.

In this episode of Build to Love, I’m unpacking four of the most common myths that keep couples stuck, confused, and questioning their connection. These outdated beliefs can create unrealistic expectations and make you feel like you’re doing something wrong—when in reality, you’re just navigating what it really means to grow in partnership.

I’m sharing what’s actually true about conflict, communication, support, and long-term love—and giving you the tools to create a relationship that’s more grounded, connected, and resilient.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why going to bed angry might be the healthier choice
• How fighting (when done well) is a sign of a strong relationship
• Why waiting for a crisis to seek support can slow your growth
• The real reason relationships aren’t supposed to feel “easy” all the time
• How to shift your mindset to build love that truly lasts
