How to Close the Expectation Gap in Marriage Before It Breaks You

When your internal vision doesn’t match your external reality, disappointment isn’t just likely—it’s inevitable.
You imagined emotional connection... but got surface-level conversations.
You thought you’d grow together... but now it feels like you’re growing apart.
You hoped for support... but ended up carrying more than you signed up for.

But hear this: the problem isn’t always your spouse.
Sometimes it’s the gap—
The gap between what you expected and what you expressed.
The gap between what you assumed and what they understood.

And that gap? It’s where frustration festers.
It’s where disconnection takes root.
But it’s also where healing can begin.

Close the gap. Open your heart.
Start the conversation you’ve been avoiding.
Clarify what you need—not to control, but to connect.
Speak truth. Listen with compassion.
