Liz shares an excerpt from her new book, I Want This to Work, to tackle today's listener question regarding having each other's back in a relationship:

"Knowing that you can rely on your partner is important for your nervous system. When we feel alone in the world, it's quite threatening. We want to know we have a village, be it 1 or 100 people that we can lean on when things get rough. It is one of the reasons we value relationships. It helps us feel safe to know that someone is there for us."
