Episode 21: Death By Silence

In this episode, we challenge the belief that arguing and conflict within a relationship is “bad”.
We talk about something far more insidious that can spell doom for a long-term relationship. And that is non-communication or silence.
The irony is that you might think silence is helpful to maintain harmony (and maybe it is in the short term), but the more you do this, the more you build up problems down the road.
We talk about:

  •  An extremely silent 10-year anniversary dinner
  •  How non-communication killed Richard’s first marriage
  •  Talking about the kids/work/logistics is NOT talking
  •  The destructiveness of stonewalling
  •  Why the goal is to argue better (not stop arguing at all)

We want to hear your thoughts and questions, so if there's anything you would like us to cover on the show, please drop us a line on
