Is Your Marriage Stuck in the Same Fight? with Dr. Jessica Higgins Part 2
You've had this fight so many times you could script both sides, and you're starting to wonder if the two of you are just fundamentally incompatible. In Part 2, you'll learn why that recurring argument almost never means what it appears to — and how naming the fear underneath your own frustration can change the conversation before you've said a word to your partner. When you're ready to translate all of that into something you can actually do together, grab Dr. Diane's free Yes, No, Maybe Checklist at mylibidodoc.com/yesnomaybe — a low-pressure way to start saying out loud what's been going unspoken.
Key Points
- A communication breakdown often masks deeper vulnerabilities and unspoken needs within a relationship.
- Listening effectively involves understanding the emotions and significance behind a partner's words, not just the content.
- Expanding the definition of intimacy beyond intercourse can help couples reconnect and break cycles of rejection.
