If your dating, engaged, or married: this episode is definitely for you! Relationships are the hardest things to navigate according to Dr. Carrington, as we are wired to connect with people. However, we are not wired to re-connect with people; this is the challenge many couples face at all stages of life. Reconnection isn't discussed enough, but a subject we will be covering. It is common for couples to fight, we all do it at some point in relationships, but the capacity to repair is what matters. It does not matter how many times you argue; as long as you and your partner can repair the relationship is the key to a long-lasting relationship. Today wedding planning is more complicated than ever; couples are surrounded by an abundance of pressure to have the perfect day; social media and the internet are responsible for the added pressure.

Thankfully, Dr. Carrington has some advice to help you navigate the wedding planning process. Her advice is to seek to understand to be understood.

Dr. Carrington has tips on how to manage this stress and how to ensure your partner feels heard.  Your wedding day is going to be stressful- it is a given.
