Critical thinking is an important skill to develop both individually and with your partner. With our current social and political stage, learning to think critically is more important than ever before. Learn tools to think critically and to talk to your partner about developing the skill together.

In this episode, we discuss relationship advice topics that include:

• The practice of thinking critically and how it can be developed
• Cultivating the idea that you don't know everything and can be wrong
• Talking to your partner about cultivating critical thinking in your relationship
• How to avoid reactivity and stay cool, calm and collected
• And much more!
