Summer is supposed to be a time of epic fun and relaxation, right? Where does this belief come from and how does it translate into pressure today? If the pressure to plan the perfect summer for your family ever leaves you feeling like you've just become a cruise director, then tune into today's episode to explore some ways to combat Summertime Stress. Jenni and Josh also share what their summers were like as children and how that has impacted them as adults. Studio updates and follow up from a recent relationship episode are also highlighted (find out if their last relationship quiz really helped them avoid a fight!).

In this episode, Jenni and Josh complete the "Your Last Argument" questionnaire from The Gottman Institute.  Using the questionnaire as a tool, they explore the feelings they each experienced during their disagreement, the factors that led them to approach the argument in that manner, deep rooted issues behind the argument, and what steps they each can take to avoid such conflict in the future. Join Jenni and Josh as they get real with each other (and with you!) and learn how to maybe stop an argument before it happens.
