Summary

How many of your past arguments and conflicts actually get fully repaired? Do you feel that from every emotional impact, your partner has fully understood you, that they acknowledge the role they played in you feeling that way, and you believe things will be put in place to make the necessary change for it to not happen again?

These are just some of the points that need to happen to fully repair from a conflict in your relationship. Just saying I'm sorry to move on often doesn't cut it.

In this episode we will share about a shocking and surprising life event that happened this week and how it shows us that we do not have life to waste being unresolved about conflicts in our marriage. You will feel the same level of urgency to not waste your life being disconnected or resentful toward your partner and have key ways to improve your "apology" so that you truly repair from any challenge and emotional impact in your life!
