Want to know how to make a relationship work?

This week we finish up our conversation about The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman.

According to research done by the Gottman Institute, almost 70% of problems in relationships are unsolvable. Unsolvable problems are the issues where we have differing needs or dreams. One of us might have a deep desire for freedom, while the other has needs for consistency and predictably. Or we might believe children need strict rules while our partner believes in gentle parenting and talking things through is the best way to parent. In this episode, we talk about how happy couples manage these unsolvable differences.

Then we go beyond just being happy in your relationship to talk about creating shared meaning and how building in rituals, understanding each person's role and setting shared goals can help your relationship go from okay to amazing.
