Many couples tell us, and we've seen it in our own marriage too, that they keep running into the same arguments over and over again. Even after trying counseling, things might improve for a short time… but before long, they slip right back into the same patterns.So what actually creates lasting change in a relationship?In this episode of The Ultimate Intimacy Podcast with Nick and Amy, we talk with Austin, a therapist who often works with couples after they've already seen two or three other counselors and are feeling discouraged that nothing has worked. Instead of repeating the same approaches, Austin takes a different path, one that helps couples break out of stuck cycles and finally start moving forward.He shares what he does differently in therapy and why those shifts lead to real, lasting progress for the couples he works with.
"The assumption of swift trust is really useful."Teams don't always need years to build trust—they need the right conditions to build it quickly. As a Stanford professor and expert in organizational design, Melissa Valentine studies how communication, team structure, and emerging technologies help people collaborate more effectively. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Valentine joins Matt Abrahams to explore how leaders can foster swift trust, adapt communication as teams move from brainstorming to execution, and use storytelling to drive meaningful change. Together, they share practical strategies for building stronger teams and navigating collaboration in an AI-enabled workplace.Key Takeaways:Build trust from the start. High-performing teams assume competence, communicate openly, and address miscommunication quickly.Adapt your communication to the task. Encourage diverse thinking during brainstorming, then align your language as the team moves toward execution.Activity:Practice swift trust.

Delegate one meaningful responsibility early, communicate clear expectations, and reflect afterward on how starting from trust influenced the team's collaboration and results.Episode Reference Links:Melissa ValentineMelissa's Book: Flash TeamsEp.241 Team Spirit: How to Make Group Work WorkEp.268 Going Viral: How To Balance Authenticity and Spectacle Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (00:57) - What Makes a Flash Team?

What if the hardest part of parenting… isn't raising children—but learning how to relate to them as adults?In this powerful and eye-opening episode, I sit down with Catherine Hickem—licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, executive coach, and founder of Parenting Adult Children Today—to explore one of the most overlooked and emotionally complex stages of family life: parenting adult children.With over 40 years of experience helping families navigate conflict, change, and growth, Catherine brings both professional expertise and personal insight to a topic that affects nearly every family—yet is rarely talked about openly.We dive into why so many parent-child relationships become strained over time, and what it really takes to rebuild trust, connection, and mutual respect.One statistic is especially striking: 1 in 4 adults is estranged from at least one parent. This isn't random—it's often the result of unspoken expectations, unresolved conflict, and missed opportunities for repair.Catherine challenges parents to take a courageous and honest look inward—shifting from reaction to reflection, from control to curiosity, and from authority to partnership.We also talk about the grief many parents carry—the loss of the child they imagined—and how processing that grief is essential to truly loving and accepting the adult child in front of them.This conversation is filled with compassion, clarity, and practical wisdom for anyone who wants a healthier, more meaningful relationship with their adult children.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why so many adult children become estranged from their parentsHow unspoken expectations quietly damage relationshipsThe critical shift from authority figure to trusted allyWhy parents must do their own inner work to rebuild connectionHow grief plays a hidden role in family relationshipsPractical ways to create safety, trust, and open communicationHow to move from control to curiosity in your parentingAbout Catherine Hickem:Catherine Hickem is a licensed clinical social worker, seasoned psychotherapist, executive coach, and founder of Parenting Adult Children Today. With over four decades of experience, she has helped thousands of families and leaders navigate emotional complexity with clarity and purpose.She is also the former leader of The Dash Group, a consultancy focused on building strong leaders, healthy cultures, and sustainable success.Her upcoming book, It's Never Too Late to Be a Great Parent (2026), offers a compassionate roadmap for healing, reconnection, and legacy-building within families.Key Takeaway:Your relationship with your child doesn't end when they become an adult—it evolves. And the quality of that relationship often depends on your willingness to grow, reflect, and meet them where they are.When parents create a safe, non-judgmental space, adult children don't pull away—they lean in.Listen and Share:If this episode resonates with you, please share it with a parent or someone navigating family challenges.

When you hear the word gentleness, what comes to mind? If you're anything like me, you may think of someone who is quiet, passive, or soft-spoken. But what if we've misunderstood biblical gentleness all along? This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the joy of talking with Christie Thomas, author of Everyday Prayers for Gentleness. As fellow authors in the Everyday Prayers series through Million Praying Moms, we share a passion for helping women become more like Jesus through the power of prayer. Christie reminded me that gentleness isn't weakness at all—it's Spirit-empowered strength. In our conversation, we discussed: • Why gentleness is one of the most countercultural fruits of the Spirit.• How Jesus perfectly modeled both strength and tenderness.• Practical ways to respond with gentleness in marriage, parenting, friendships, church relationships, and even online.• How choosing gentleness can transform the atmosphere of your home and point others to the heart of Christ. One statement Christie shared has stayed with me: "Jesus is never just the Lion, and He's never just the Lamb. He's always both." What a beautiful picture of the kind of strength God wants to cultivate in us. If you've been feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or quick to react lately, I think this conversation will encourage you. It reminded me that the strongest people aren't always the loudest—they're often the ones most surrendered to the Holy Spirit. I hope you'll take a few moments to listen. My prayer is that God will use this conversation to help all of us become women whose words, attitudes, and actions reflect the gentle heart of Jesus.

In many schools today, students hesitate to give class presentations. Not because of stage fright, but because they're afraid of being secretly recorded and mocked on social media.

In this episode, Dr. Ruston visits a middle school in Washington State and sits down with Principal Zach to explore what happened when phones were allowed on campus and how things changed dramatically once new policies were put in place.

The How of Business - How to start, run & grow a small business.
How understanding the neuroscience behind conflict can help small business owners become more effective leaders, build healthier teams, and transform workplace conflict into collaboration. Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/613-jeremy-pollack-conflict-resolution/ Conflict is inevitable in every small business. But according to conflict resolution expert Jeremy Pollack, conflict itself isn't the problem. It's how our nervous systems respond to perceived threats that determines whether conflict becomes destructive or productive. In this episode, Henry Lopez talks with social-organizational psychologist, mediator, and author Jeremy Pollack about the neuroscience behind workplace conflict and why better communication alone isn't enough. Jeremy explains that before teams can solve problems effectively, leaders must first learn how to regulate their own nervous systems and create an environment where others feel psychologically safe. Drawing from his book Wired for Peace: Using Seven Neuroscience-Based Principles to Resolve Conflicts, Jeremy shares practical strategies that every small business owner can apply immediately to improve leadership, strengthen culture, and reduce unnecessary workplace tension. Whether you're managing a growing team, navigating difficult employee conversations, or simply wanting to become a more effective leader, this episode offers practical, science-backed tools you can begin using immediately in your small business. Jeremy Pollack, Ph.D., is a social-organizational psychologist, workplace conflict resolution expert, and author of Wired for Peace, helping leaders build healthier, more collaborative teams through neuroscience-based conflict resolution. He is the founder of Pollack Peacebuilding Systems. This episode is hosted by Henry Lopez. The How of Business podcast focuses on helping you start, run, grow and exit your small business.

Ep 283 Peacewarts: Resonant Charms - The Doorway Sentence (Class 2) In class 2, Avis Kalfsbeek explores the concept of the doorway sentence as a tool for lowering defensiveness and inviting participation. We examine the difference between a harsh start-up and a soft start-up, drawing on the family therapy work of Virginia Satir and John Gottman. By looking at Māori hui protocols and the labor organizing of Dolores Huerta, we discuss how honor-preserving openings and curiosity-based language can turn a deadlock into a dialogue. Homework: Look up the term soft start-up as defined by psychologist John Gottman and find one example of how a harsh start-up affects the likelihood of a conflict being resolved. Write down one question about any of this episode's topics. If you don't have a question, write no question. Optional: Identify a difficult conversation you need to have. Write down the first sentence you were planning to say, and then rewrite it as a doorway sentence using a curiosity or choice frame. Notice how the second version feels in your own body when you say it out loud.

David Robles • Selected Scriptures • Sundays in July
In Episode 186, we explore Matthew 18:15-20 and Jesus' brilliant process for addressing sin and conflict in relationships. Our culture teaches us to avoid conflict at all costs—we ghost people, talk about them behind their backs, cut them off, or post passive-aggressive comments on social media. But Jesus calls us to something radically different: go to them directly and work it out. Through guided meditation, discover why avoidance doesn't heal relationships—it destroys them. When we refuse to address sin, it festers, grows, and spreads to others, creating distance where there could be reconciliation. Jesus gives us a three-step process designed with love at every stage. First, go privately with the goal of restoration, not embarrassment or judgment. If they listen and confess, you've won that person back. Second, if they don't listen, bring one or two witnesses to ensure clarity and fairness—not to gang up on them, but to protect everyone involved. Third, take it to the church community, recognizing that we're not meant to handle serious conflict alone. This episode explores the profound promise that bookends this teaching: "If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them." Jesus is saying that when you come together for the work of reconciliation, He is present with you. Learn why confrontation requires courage and humility, and why it's ultimately an act of profound love. Discover practical steps for preparing your heart before a difficult conversation: check yourself for humility, clarify that your goal is restoration not victory, and choose your words carefully. Find the freedom to show up honestly and seek restoration, trusting that God is with you in the hard conversations.

Obligatory sex is when one spouse engages in sexual activity not because they feel desire, but because they feel pressured, obligated, or afraid of disappointing their spouse. We hear this all the time where the lower desire spouse just has sex out of obligation and both couples are unhappy. When this happens regularly, this dynamic erodes trust, creates resentment, and negatively impacts emotional and physical intimacy for both spouses. Many couples fall into this pattern unknowingly. It may start with good intentions: one spouse wants to please the other, avoid conflict, or keep peace in the marriage. But what begins as a gesture of love can quickly transform into a ritual devoid of passion or connection.When this is happening in a marriage, BOTH husbands and wives are negatively impacted in different ways. In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast we talk about the negative impacts of this on both spouses and share what couples that are experiencing this can do. And YES, we share our personal experience with this as well :)
Different opinions, approaches, priorities, and expectations are exactly that: different. None is necessarily wrong. If a group starts out in agreement on the destination and the route, many small decisions remain. When a group finds itself dealing with those many decisions along the way, their decision-making process will likely determine their success or failure.

Psychological safety is one of those terms everyone has heard, and most people misunderstand. It’s not about being nice. It’s not about avoiding conflict. And it’s certainly not about lowering the bar. In this episode, Mehmet Baha breaks down what psychological safety actually means, why the data behind it is hard to ignore, and what gets in the way of building it in most organisations. The conversation also moves into AI territory: what happens when employees don’t feel safe admitting they don’t understand the tools they’re expected to use, why transparency around AI use matters, and what responsible AI adoption looks like in practice. A practical, grounded conversation for anyone leading a team in today’s workplace. Our Guest: Mehmet Baha His surname is Baha and everyone calls him Baha. From Amsterdam to Singapore, Washington DC to Dubai, Baha delivers inspiring keynote talks. He has given talks at the world’s leading business summits where TED speakers and New York Times bestselling authors were also speakers.

The Liberated Life - Set Yourself Free in Business and Pleasure
Tired of the constant mental chatter? Feeling drained by unresolved issues and endless to-do lists? You're a high-performer, always striving for excellence. But that drive often comes with a hidden cost: a mind full of "open loops" – those nagging thoughts, unfinished tasks, and unresolved conflicts that silently steal your energy. In this powerful discussion, we dive deep into the concept of neutrality – not as indifference, but as a strategic superpower for the exhausted high-achiever. Discover how embracing neutrality can help you: Stop the energy drain: Learn to identify and close those "open loops" that keep you mentally busy and emotionally depleted. Navigate conflict with calm: Instead of reacting and escalating, find your "defining moment" to manage situations with steady, anchored presence, even when things matter deeply. Reclaim your peace and sanity: Understand how to pause, gain clarity, and avoid the knee-jerk reactions that lead to bigger problems and deeper exhaustion. Transform relationships: Discover how a neutral stance can foster understanding, prevent damage, and create space for genuine repair, even in your most challenging interactions. Unlock more solutions: See how stepping back from immediate judgment and reaction opens up a world of possibilities and empowers you to find more effective outcomes. We'll explore practical strategies like: Noticing the "surge": Identifying what triggers your emotional reactions. Questioning your "story": Challenging your ingrained beliefs about situations and people. Asking for clarity: Slowing down conversations to truly understand, rather than assume. "Eating your popcorn": Observing situations without getting emotionally entangled. If you're ready to move beyond constant reaction and cultivate a powerful inner calm that fuels your performance without burning you out, this video is for you. Learn how to be present, hear clearly, and manage yourself so you don't "give up your sanity or your peace." Don't let open loops dictate your energy. Tap into the power of neutrality and reclaim your focus, peace, and effectiveness. If this resonated, there's probably an open loop of your own worth closing. My free Close the Loop tool walks you through it in about 15 minutes — a gentle place to start.
In Part 2 of this Heavyweight Collective series, the crew continues unpacking the idea that peace isn't the absence of conflict—it's the presence of order. This time, the focus shifts from avoidance to action, exploring what healthy conflict resolution actually looks like when emotions, relationships, and pride are involved.The conversation dives into strained relationships, unresolved tension, and the reality that being polite isn't always the same as being at peace.

From difficult conversations with children to procrastination, fear of failure, and everyday distractions, the discussion keeps returning to a simple but powerful truth: order requires honesty.This episode is a reminder that real peace is built, not avoided.Tap in With US!

Born Into Slavery: Stark Portraits Of The Four Million Enslaved In The 1800's Imagine being born into slavery in the South. You don't have a dime to your name, don't have any education and all you know are the surrounding fields of the plantation you worked on for years or decades. What would you do after the abolishment of slavery? How would you start over? Historian Richard Cahan joins us this week to share a few of the firsthand stories of former slaves living in the South during the 1800's and in America's post-Civil War era.

And the one who always proves he actually heard you. That turns out to be the whole secret. Duhigg walks through looping for understanding, a three-step method they teach at Harvard's negotiation program and in law schools. Ask a real question. Repeat back what you heard in your own words. Then ask if you got it right. That last step is the one everyone forgets. He also explains why being understood feels so good. The ancestors who bonded with their people and invested in their community are the ones who survived. The pull toward connection is built into us.

If you're a regular listener of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, you've probably heard Austin talk about the importance of becoming "one" in marriage. But what does that really mean, and why is it so important for creating a thriving relationship?In this episode, Austin dives deep into the concept of unity in marriage and explains why so many couples struggle to feel connected despite living under the same roof. In today's world, it's easy for spouses to become independent roommates—pursuing separate interests, managing their own lives, making individual decisions, and gradually drifting apart without even realizing it.While individuality is important, a strong marriage requires more than simply coexisting. It requires intentionally building a life together. Becoming "one" doesn't mean losing your identity; it means aligning your goals, priorities, decisions, and hearts so that you are moving in the same direction as a team.Austin shares practical insights on how couples can create greater unity, strengthen emotional and physical intimacy, improve communication, and avoid the subtle habits that create division within a marriage. He discusses what it looks like to truly partner with your spouse, make decisions together, support each other's dreams, and build a relationship where both partners feel connected, valued, and understood.

Fry is Professor Emeritus of Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Docent of Cross-Cultural Developmental Psychology at Åbo Akademi University in Vasa, Finland, and Adjunct Senior Research Scholar at the Advanced Consortium on Cooperation, Conflict, and Complexity at Columbia University. He has written extensively on aggression, conflict, and conflict resolution in his own books and in journals such as Science and American Anthropologist. His new book is Advanced Introduction to Conflict Resolution. In this episode, we focus on Advanced Introduction to Conflict Resolution. We start by discussing what conflict resolution is, how it is studied cross-culturally, and how it varies cross-culturally. We talk about human universals, and whether they are necessarily evolved adaptations. We talk about the role of reciprocity; relationships and interconnections; justice, and respecting the rights of others; reconciliation, apology and forgiveness; and revenge. Finally, we discuss situations where conflict resolution does not work, and whether this knowledge can be applied to large-scale modern industrialized societies.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Do you step into an argument determined to win, only to leave the other person completely silent while the root problem remains entirely unresolved? If you find yourself winning imaginary arguments in your head before a hard conversation even begins, you might be dealing with the unique wiring of a Choleric temperament.Welcome back to The Catholic Coaching Podcast with Matt and Erin! In Episode 302, we are kicking off a brand-new sub-series unpacking how different temperaments navigate healthy, holy conflict resolution. Today, we are pointing the spotlight at the powerful Choleric.Using our 4-step conflict resolution framework, PACE (Pause, Assume Goodwill, Clarify, Engage), Matt and Erin break down exactly where Cholerics excel head-on and where they naturally hit roadblocks.In this episode, you'll discover:• Why the "P" (Pause) is the ultimate hurdle for fast-acting Cholerics—and how to reframe it as a high-leverage "tactical pause."• How the vice of pertinacity (stubbornly clinging to your own position) turns a dialogue into a courtroom interrogation.• Mindset shifts to help you choose impact and excellence over simply "being right."• How Cholerics can step into their natural superpower of leadership by modeling radical ownership first.Whether you are a Choleric looking to grow in sanctity, married to one, or coaching someone with a high-will personality, this episode offers practical, repeatable mindset strategies to help you move from reaction to relationship.Send us Fan MailSupport the show____________________► Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to the Metanoia Catholic YouTube Channel!► Discover How God Is Speaking to You In Prayer► Find out your temperament: Take the Free Quiz► Get the Conversation Starter Guide (FREE) ► Take the Quiz: WHAT TYPE OF COACH ARE YOU?► GET THE DAILY SEVEN JOURNAL!This interactive journal will help you transform your life from the inside out by teaching you how to grow in gratitude, set healthy goals, and gain mastery over your thoughts.► JOIN THE ACADEMY!Your online resource of classes, tools, and community to ramp up your growth and really change your life.

Send Wilk a text with your feedback! (incoming msgs only - I can't reply) Julia Minson has spent 25 years studying disagreement—not how to win arguments, but how people actually engage with views that conflict with their own. She's a Harvard professor, a behavioral scientist, and the author of How to Disagree Better. This conversation gets into the heart of her research.One of the most useful ideas in the episode: being receptive in your own head doesn't count. Your counterpart can't read your mind. If you want them to feel heard, you have to signal it out loud—with specific language, in real time. Julia's HEAR framework (Hedging, Emphasizing agreement, Acknowledging, Reframing) gives you an actual tool to do that.We also get into why asking “why do you believe that” changes a conversation more than almost anything else—and why so much of the enmity in our society isn't really about what people believe, but about what we assume their beliefs say about them.If you've ever walked away from a hard conversation feeling like the other person wasn't really listening—or wondering if you were—this episode is worth your time. Julia's book is How to Disagree Better, and you can find her at disagreeingbetter.com.Learn more about and connect with Julia Minson in the full show notes for this episode at www.DeratetheHate.com.

Has sexual intimacy become viewed as "optional" in your marriage?If your spouse came to you before you got married and said "Just so you know, when we are married, I am never going to be sexual intimate with you" would you have still got married? Of course not, because BOTH men and women know that sexual intimacy is vital to a happy and healthy marriage. So why do some many people (low desire spouses) treat sex as "optional" after they get married?So many good husbands reach out to us sharing a similar frustration: they constantly hear that emotional intimacy comes first, so they work hard to meet their spouse's emotional needs. They help around the house, become more intentional with communication, plan date nights, show affection, attend counseling, read books, listen to podcasts, and genuinely try to become a better husband. Yet despite all their efforts, little or nothing changes when it comes to the sexual connection in their marriage. Over time, many of these husbands begin to feel discouraged, rejected, and confused. They wonder why they are putting so much effort into the relationship while their desire for greater sexual intimacy seems to remain unmet. Some feel as though sexual intimacy has become "optional" in marriage and that they have slowly been transformed from a husband into an errand-running roommate who has been placed into the "friend zone."Recently, we received a powerful email from a listener who expressed these exact feelings after spending years investing time, energy, and money into improving his marriage. His message resonated because it reflects the reality and frustration that many spouses experience but often don't know how to talk about.In this week's episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we read portions of his email and dive into this difficult but important conversation. Why do so many husbands feel like they are doing everything they've been told to do, yet still feel disconnected sexually? Has the message of emotional intimacy been misunderstood? Is emotional connection always the missing piece, or are there times when other issues need to be addressed? What responsibility does each spouse have in creating a thriving intimate relationship?Join us as we discuss these questions, share our thoughts on the listener's concerns, and talk about how couples can move beyond frustration, resentment, and unmet expectations to create a marriage where both emotional and sexual intimacy are valued, prioritized, and nurtured.

Conflict is everywhere. Nations wage war against nations. Churches divide, families fracture, friendships dissolve, and even within the human heart there is pride, fear, and bitterness. Scripture reveals that conflict is not merely psychological or circumstantial—it is spiritual.From Satan's rebellion in heaven to the fall of Adam and Eve in the garden, the story of humanity has been marked by disunity and broken fellowship. Yet in the midst of that reality, God reveals Himself as the Great Peacemaker in the short but powerful epistle to Philemon. Through this personal letter, the Apostle Paul provides a living picture of Gospel-centered reconciliation.In this episode of PostScript, Brandon Briscoe welcomes Pastor John Wright, author of Peacekeepers: Conflict Management and the Epistle to Philemon, for a discussion on the spiritual roots of conflict and the biblical path toward reconciliation. Together, they examine how Paul's mediation between Philemon and Onesimus demonstrates God's heart for restoration, forgiveness, and unity among believers.Topics discussed include:• The biblical origin of conflict• The difference between peacemaking and peacekeeping• Paul's model of mediation in Philemon• Practical principles for resolving conflict in the local church• How the Gospel transforms broken relationships• Building and maintaining a culture of peace among believersWhether facing church conflict, family tensions, strained friendships, or personal struggles, listeners will find biblical wisdom and practical guidance for pursuing peace God's way.Visit https://lfbi.org/learnmore

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.gottman.com/blog/mastering-marriage-conflict-mulligans/ Quotes to ponder: "When couples face-off over issues on which they have differing opinions, the discussion can get derailed by what Dr. John Gottman calls a harsh start-up." "According to Dr. Gottman, repair attempts are the secret weapon of emotionally intelligent couples." "Love Maps represent the deep knowledge that partners have of each other's world including their likes, dislikes, hopes, and dreams." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
