In this episode we discuss relationship advice topics that include: Is honesty always the best policy? The importance of making your partner feel that the conversation is important. Arguing about silly things and how to resolve it. Communication techniques for productive conflict resolution. How to avoid blaming and criticizing language with your parter. And much more!
