everybody welcome thank you for listening to this episode of marriage therapy radio my name is

i'm here with laura i don't know if laura knows this but this episode is coming out at on our fifth

anniversary this is the fifth anniversary of marriage therapy radio we started in october of

2017 and so hey congratulations to us.

And happy anniversary, Laura.

Happy anniversary of Marriage Therapy Radio.

Happy anniversary to all of you who have been hanging out with us.

It's been really fun.

And I'm grateful for you.

As you know, we have a fantasy football league here at Marriage Therapy Radio.

I, the Golden Donuts, that's my team.

We're playing the Colorado Rocky Mountain

Oysters. If you don't know what a Rocky Mountain Oyster is, you just check it out.

Maybe you don't Google it, though. You might not like what you find. But Jen, who is their

manager of Colorado, she sent me a smack talk in the middle of the weekend. She was like talking

trash about the game because she thought she was going to win. But she lost and I won. So the golden

donuts, we're three and one. It's another team out there. It's four and oh. Another team that's

three and one. So I'm kind of in first place. Laura's in last place. She's 0 and 4, which delights

me in this year of competition. This week on the podcast, Laura introduces a topic that's near and dear to her heart.

We're talking about kind of how to listen, particularly when your partner has a complaint or a

criticism, you know, what's the right way to respond? And we do this in real time, as sometimes

we are want to do. This is a very cool conversation. Stick around.
