Show Notes
You didn’t marry the wrong person — you’re just in a stage of your relationship.
In this episode, John Kim sits down with attachment expert Thais Gibson to break down the six stages of a relationship — and why so many couples get stuck thinking something is “wrong” when nothing is actually broken.
We talk about:
- Why attachment styles are not labels, and how they can be rewired
- The difference between dating, honeymoon, and the power struggle stage
- Why most couples struggle after the honeymoon — and how to move forward
- How early conditioning shapes adult relationships
- What healthy long-term love actually looks like
If relationships have ever felt confusing, discouraging, or overwhelming, this episode gives you language, context, and relief.
