When couples face unresolved issues or fail to repair conflicts quickly, relationships suffer. These challenges can lead to misunderstandings, resentment, and emotional distance. Trauma, past experiences, and unmet expectations can make these problems even harder to manage.

Author and expert in psychology and relationships, Stan Tatkin joins Lorin to explore how shared agreements, thoughtful design, and a focus on mutual care can help you build a strong foundation.

Without this foundation, relationships can become unstable. Fights linger, trust erodes, and unresolved issues or traumas deepen the disconnect. Over time, this can harm not just the relationship but also our mental and physical health.

Start today, by having a conversation with your partner about what you both want from your relationship. These small steps can create momentum toward a stronger, more secure bond.
