Communication and smart conflict resolution are extremely important in any relationship. You know this! Yet we all struggle with these things too often (at least Sarah and I do). This episode is a gold mine of valuable information for navigating communication and conflict resolution. In this episode we discuss relationship advice topics that include: Is honesty always the best policy? The importance of making your partner feel that the conversation is important. Arguing about silly things and how to resolve it. Communication techniques for productive conflict resolution. How to avoid blaming and criticizing language with your parter. And much more!
