Summary
How do we know whether we are making healthy compromises or devastating sacrifices in our romantic lives? Whether coupled up or single and dating, COVID has had an impact on all relationships. The truth is most couples struggle to communicate effectively about their needs, often setting them aside in order to keep the peace. Join Monica and Michael as they explore how we can move past the “almost” and create the fulfilling relationships we desire.
“Ask yourself how you might be stuck in the ‘almost’ in some area of your life, whether it’s a relationship or work or family. Look for the places where things are not great, but not terrible either, areas that are ‘close enough.’ What can you do to make yourself uncomfortable, not for its own sake, but in order to create the relationship you desire?” - Monica Berg

| 0:58.6 | and you and I are going to do a Q&A with each other. Yes, I'm very excited to spend some time |

| 1:08.0 | you do this very well and I wonder how many couples out there |
| 1:12.0 | do is really talk about the relationship and I know there's some people who don't like talking |
