Episode #3: Communication in Relationships
58:10
Published: Mon Apr 24 2023
Description
I felt inspired to deep dive into communication in relationships and how that may look different for many people. We've all heard the saying "communication is key," but what does that REALLY mean? We will cover long distance communication, communicating when you first move in with your partner, and how the five love languages play a massive role in communication. I also call "BS" on the saying "if he wanted to he would," which may ruffle some feathers.Please remember that there is no one way or perfect way of communicating in relationships. It is going to look so different for everyone!
