A strong relationship requires communication, compromise and commitment. But what does that look like in practice?
On this episode of Destined to Be, we’re exploring the first C of a strong relationship, communication.
We discuss the power in knowing your partner’s love language and showing them love in that way, challenging you to identify what you are feeling and clearly communicate what you need in the relationship.
Listen in for insight on reading your partner’s unspoken or nonverbal communication and learn to leverage meditation to facilitate better communication with your better half!
