I am pleased to bring you the thinking of today's guests, CrisMarie Campbell and Susan Clarke. Partners in work and in life for over two decades, they've adapted their proven step-by-step process, which they honed while working with numerous Fortune 100 companies, to help long-term couples use conflict as a catalyst to greater intimacy and passion.

We will be discussing a range of topics, such as the difference between conflict and violence in relationships, how to avoid fake forgiveness, and the challenges of walking the line between autonomy and connection in intimate relationships.
