Have you ever found yourself believing you know exactly what your spouse meant—only to discover later that you were completely wrong?

In this Summer Shorts episode, Michael and Heather tackle one of the most common causes of conflict and emotional distance in marriage: assumptions.

Many marriage arguments aren’t actually about what happened—they’re about what we think happened. Past hurts, insecurities, stress, and unmet expectations can create stories in our minds that shape how we interpret our spouse’s words and actions.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why assumptions quietly create drift and disconnection
• How your personal filters affect what you hear and see
• The difference between what your spouse did and why you think they did it
• How curiosity can replace conflict and misunderstanding
• Practical questions to ask before reacting

Plus, Michael and Heather share a simple weekly challenge to help you stop negative assumptions before they turn into unnecessary conflict.

Because healthy marriages aren’t built by mind-reading—they’re built by seeking understanding.

Connection grows when we choose curiosity over assumptions.
