Jason shares five habits healthy couples avoid to maintain strong, connected relationships.

- Assuming your partner is trying to upset you—differences aren’t disrespect.
- Expecting your partner to fix your anxiety—self-regulation is key.
- Using distance or avoidance to calm anxiety—space is healthy only if it leads to reconnection.
- Feeling entitled to sex—focus on intimacy, not demands.
Final Thought:
Healthy couples are intentional, self-aware, and patient with each other.
