Why Sharing Every Fight with Friends Can Damage Your Relationship

Have you ever gotten into a fight with your spouse and immediately called a friend—
Not to gain perspective…
But to get a 5-star Yelp review?

You lay out your version of the story, expecting your friend to say:
“Oh girl, you’re totally right.”
“He always does that.”
“You deserve better.”

And maybe it feels validating for a moment.
But here’s the problem:

That’s not healing. That’s echo.

When we only call people who will cosign our pain without challenging our patterns, we’re not looking for growth—we’re looking for comfort. And that kind of comfort keeps us stuck.

Real healing doesn’t come from five-star ratings.
It comes from five-minute reflections like:

What was I really reacting to?

Is there a deeper wound being triggered?

What’s the story I’m telling myself about what this means?

In Marriage in Bloom, we go beyond surface-level support and into transformational work. We don’t just validate your emotions—we help you process them, understand them, and use them to rebuild trust, safety, and honest connection.

Because the goal isn’t to be “right.”
The goal is to be whole.
