Dr. Dana Watson from Families Inc. Counseling Services joined Brandon and Kelly to discuss why it’s important to continually work on your relationship. Relationships are hard, communication is hard, parenting is hard, trust is hard. So, hat does ‘choose your hard’ actually mean? Why do so many people avoid difficult conversations? What creates emotional safety in a relationship? What’s usually underneath anger? How should couples handle criticism? Why is trust so difficult to rebuild? Why do couples drift apart while raising children? Why is emotional withdrawal more concerning than conflict? How important is appreciation? How does pride get in the way of connection? What’s the difference between a struggling relationship and a failing relationship? What’s one thing listeners can do this week to strengthen their relationship?
