If you want to destroy your relationship, make assumptions. If you want to inject it with hope and joy, believe the best.  In this week's podcast episode, we listen to Dr. Morgan Cutlip's (@drmorgancutlip) strong warning against making assumptions in relationships. We encourage people to instead believe the best. We actually did a whole miniseries episode on this idea, which you can find here.  Dr. Cutlip suggests using the following questions and phrases to help when you feel assumption sneak in:  The story I've been telling myself about why you do _____ is _____. Is this accurate?  When you say _____ I am thinking you mean _____. Is this what you mean? I don't want to assume.  This is what I'm hearing you say: _____. Is this right? “We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behaviour.” - Steven Covey Original Instagram Reel can be found here.
