The root of all relationship disconnections traces to the same source—expectations. Are you ready to learn what expectations mean for your relationship? Do you want to know how you can use values to add substance to life with a significant other? A coach can help you distinguish between expectations and values.

Expectations require one person in a relationship to live their life according to the other person's desires. Does this sound familiar? Have you ever found yourself in a situation like this?

If you're ready to learn more about why expectations are the root of all disconnection, then tune into this episode of Clarity Coach, where host Rockie Lee and co-host Kimberly discuss ways that couples can develop values for a healthier relationship.

Expectations are the number one reason for stumbling blocks in relationships. This episode is your chance to know the difference between an expectation and a value so that you and your partner can make the best of your relationship.

What Is an Expectation?

Rockie kicks things off by explaining the contrast between an expectation and a value. Then he continues by giving real-life examples of each.

Then Rockie talks about how couples react to things they don't have in their marriage and how they can create what they want instead.

If you and your partner are having trouble in your relationship, expectations could be the root of the problem. You don't have to continue stumbling along, as Rockie explains.

How Do Expectations Affect Marriage?

Rockie provides examples of couples' expectations and their impact on how they interact with each other.

Next, he provides ways that couples can add value to their marriage to help elevate themselves and their relationship.

These examples may sound familiar to you if expectations exist in your marriage. As you'll learn in this episode, it doesn't have to be that way.

Can We Move Away from Expectations?

- What is the source of expectations couples have for each other?

Now ask yourself these two questions: Have you and your partner ever hurled names and
accusations at each other? Do you want to know how to replace the expectations in your
relationship with values? If you answered yes to either one or both questions, then you could use the advice Rockie shares in this episode.
