S1: 35,000 Daily Decisions and Why They’re Straining Your Relationship

Descripción

We make around 35,000 decisions a day, and when you’re travelling as a couple, it suddenly feels like you’re negotiating every single one of them. Where to eat. What to book. Who decides. It’s rarely the big life choices that wear you down, it’s the constant drip of tiny ones that quietly build tension without you realising. From pasta stand-offs in Nicaragua to redefining who handles logistics, we unpack decision fatigue in relationships, the roles couples slip into without meaning to, and why trying to “just go with it” can slowly turn into resentment. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we react to a story so absurdly unlikely it sounds fictional, yet it shows how one random click can expose something that was never meant to be found. While in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we explore research suggesting your happiness boost might actually begin long before you even pack your suitcase.

S1: No.1 Intimacy Coach: Does Travel Make or Break a Relationship & Warning Signs Couples Miss – Monica Tanner, Author: Bad Marriage Advice & Host: Secrets of Happily Ever After | Yalla Habibi Podcast

We’re joined by Monica Tanner this week, a certified relationship and intimacy coach, keynote speaker, and author with over two decades of real marriage experience, to put our relationship under the microscope and answer the question at the heart of this series, does travel make or break a relationship, and what actually determines the outcome? We get into what a modern relationship actually looks like today, who really defines it, and the warning signs couples often miss until it is too late. You’ll hear why arguments seem to show up faster when you travel together, how money quietly creates tension, and what separates couples who thrive from those who don’t. We also challenge the advice you’ve likely heard your whole life, from never going to bed angry to happy wife happy life, and why it might be doing more harm than good. By the end, we strip it all back to what really matters and what travel might reveal in your own relationship that everyday life can hide.
