Needs are fundamental to our well-being, happiness, and survival, whereas expectations are our beliefs and preferences about how our needs should be met.
Though we can’t change our needs, we can adjust our expectations on how we get our needs met, which can prevent the conflict, disappointment, and frustration we often experience in our relationships.
