When couples first come together, the thrill of meeting someone new combined with attraction creates a honeymoon period. By the time they exit the initial charge of getting together, they have often made unconscious systems of conflict resolution that are not sustainable in the long term. Individuals within the couple come in with separate and often divergent coping mechanisms that create obstacles to secure and loving connections.
In this episode, Tarah and EJ normalize the struggles couples inevitably face in a relationship and help listeners understand how couples blend. They share how childhood and early adulthood experiences unconsciously pull couples apart.
