EPisode 25: "What If You Never Find Out? The Truth About Secrets in Marriage"

Should every hidden truth see daylight, or can silence sometimes protect the ones we love? In this fiery, research-backed deep dive, licensed marriage & family therapist and relationship coach Allisha Minor-Gaines, MA, MS, LCMFT, LMFT uncorks the ethical, emotional, and downright controversial world of secrets—from harmless white lies to vault-level betrayals.

Expect raw stories from couples (straight, queer, dating, engaged, and 30-year veterans), eye-opening stats (did you know 60 % of partners admit to at least one major secret?*), quotes from classic love poetry, and clinical insights you can use tonight. We’ll laugh, maybe cry, and definitely challenge the idea that “what they don’t know won’t hurt them.”

Listen if you’re craving:

• Honest relationship advice, marriage advice, and dating advice that actually feels human.
• Tools to navigate trust, intimacy, and accountability without the shame spiral.
• A safe, culturally sensitive space where LGBTQ+, intercultural, and neurodiverse couples all belong.

“Secrecy, once accepted, becomes the habit of a life.” —Lewis F. Kornhauser, Family Law Scholar
