Still Feeling Misunderstood by Your Partner?

You’re not alone!

Even strong couples get stuck in patterns of miscommunication, conflict, and emotional distance. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. 

Reconnect. Rebuild. Communicate well.

 

“...research revealed that most conflict (69%) in relationships is perpetual. It has no resolution, because it is based on lasting differences in personalities and needs. Couples can either have gentle dialogues about these perpetual issues, or they can live in a state of “gridlock,” that is, a state of painful impasse.”

-According to research from the Gottman Institute

 

These problems aren’t “solvable,” but they can be understood, softened, and managed with skill and connection.
