Have you ever noticed how silence in a relationship can feel like both a comfort and a wall?
Hi, I’m Dr. Margaret Cochran, and in this episode of The Relationship Doctor, I’m unpacking the surprising power of silence in our closest connections. Sometimes those quiet moments can draw us closer together, creating space for peace and understanding. But other times, silence becomes avoidance—and that kind of silence can slowly chip away at intimacy.
Instead of slipping into meaningless chatter or burying issues under unspoken words, I’ll share how you can use honest, thoughtful conversations to deepen trust and strengthen your bond. I’ll also offer a few powerful questions you can bring to your partner—questions designed to open the door to healing, clarity, and genuine connection.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your silence is helping or hurting your relationship, this episode is for you. Tune in and let’s explore how moving from silence to open dialogue can transform love into something stronger, deeper, and lasting.
