Description

Research shows that happy couples argue about the same things as everyone else. Things like children, money, in-laws and intimacy.

What sets them apart is not WHAT they fight about but HOW they approach an argument. So, what do happy couples do differently?

On this episode of Destined to Be, we’re discussing how happy couples handle conflict in their relationships and why it’s better to address an issue in the moment rather than run away.

We explain why it’s crucial to take time to do things for yourself and communicate those needs to your partner, exploring why you can’t expect your spouse to fulfill you if you’re not clear on what you want.

Listen in for insight on setting goals together (with a mindset of mutual growth) and learn how YOU benefit from a partner who feels joyful and fulfilled!
