The path to creating a great relationship is not about creating a perfect relationship. Perfect relationships don’t exist. However, resilient relationships are attainable and perfectly imperfect! Listen to today’s show to learn some great practices for a resilient relationship.
In this episode with Dr. Karen Skerrett, we discuss relationship advice topics that include:
- What exactly a resilient relationship looks like
- The value of perspective when dealing with relationship conflict
- The importance of noticing and paying attention to our partner
- Cultivating an attitude of curiosity and how it will improve your relationship
- The importance of anticipating challenges and using them as opportunities for growth with your partner.
- And much more!
