Our relationships bring us the greatest joy and, at times, the deepest pain and struggle. Sometimes, all we can see is the hard, hard work of our relationships and the fun and joy is a distant memory. Perhaps it time for a reset.....time to create some new habits and practices that will help both partners experience their relationship as a mutually respectful partnership where they can both flourish.
