Manage episode 456260190 series 1946832
Listen in this week as the therapists dish and dive about navigating the differences between you and your partner. How alike—or unalike—can you be in a successful relationship? And can shared values overcome opposing political views? What if you’re raising kids together?
Pam and Iona explore how differences in upbringing, personality, and life experiences can impact your relationship. They emphasize the significance of respect, curiosity, and commitment to resolving conflicts, and agree that values like integrity, family, and community are crucial. They also touch on the challenges of dealing with trauma and the necessity of personal growth. Bottom line?
