2026-05-0620 minHeart Versus HeadHow To Judge Your PartnerJudging. You know you're doing it. It's natural. It's the comparison nature of having a human brain. You compare yourself to others and that very human action comes with judgement. In this episode, Randy and Beverly explore a better way to judge a partner. Whether you're dating someone and wondering if they're a fit or you're married and trying to understand your partner, you'll see the benefit of judging based on your partner's values, instead of your own. That sounds complex (even for me, as I was typing it in the episode description) but we explain it better in...
