We’ll tackle four essential areas to help you gain clarity: compatibility, communication, alignment, and growth opportunities. By the end of this episode, you’ll have some fresh ideas, free resources, and a clear plan to create positive change, whether with your partner or on your own.

Specifically, we’re discussing:

0:00 Introduction: Are You Married to the Wrong Person?

00:39 Understanding Relationship Challenges
