Hi everyone. Dr. Jennifer here. As you listen to the coaching session that follows,

you might be surprised by how much this couple's experiences resonate with your own. Because as humans,

we have a tendency to get stuck in very similar ways. And it's often easier to see these patterns in others,

which is why Room for Two is such a powerful learning tool.

So when you listen, you'll likely see yourself in these episodes.

And when you do, I encourage you to use the feedback I offer

to make important changes in your own life and your own relationship.

Please note that to protect privacy, the names, voices, and identifying features of the couples

have been altered, but they're sharing their stories generously to help all of us.

So I hope you'll benefit from what you learn here.

Welcome to Room for Two.

and we left it there and didn't move it over to the dryer.

And, you know,

after kind of a long period of time where both of us, I think, struggled in different ways. And we'll unpack that, but we came to a point where I think to credit, she really wanted more
