Love Tests? Just Give the Answers!!!

In this episode of The Voyage Cast, co-creator and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Matt Johnson unpacks the concept of “love tests”—those subtle, often subconscious ways we test the people closest to us. Whether it’s expecting a partner to “just know” what we need or withholding connection to see if they’ll chase us, these patterns often lead to misunderstanding and emotional distance. Through thoughtful insight and practical examples, Matt explores how love tests develop, how to recognize them, and how to replace them with vulnerability, clear communication, and real connection. This episode is a guide to building trust without guesswork—and loving without conditions.
