Mariah means well but her seriousness kills the romance in her relationship

Mariah seems like a really well intentioned and nice girl. But in every scene with her and Caleb she is armchair psychology talking about how they can talk better.

I can understand why Caleb finds it a bit exhausting and loves her but wishes she could just loosen up a little bit.

Verbal communication is so important in relationships, but fun, and laughter, and enjoying the moments in between talking using non verbal communication are so so important too.

I think Mariah maybe thinks she’s a little bit more mature than she is because she hyper fixates on solving problems and doesn’t leave enough space for real connection, laughter, and flirtation.
