Why Do We Marry Our Unfinished Business ...

Unswtnd+Unfltrd
About this episode

How do we go from relationship struggles to relationship goals?

In Episode 37 of Season 2, we sit down with Zahra Aljabri to discuss what it means to marry our unfinished business, how we can overcome the pain points of our current relationship and how to deal with insecurities from our past.

Zahra is a spiritual coach who will help guide us when it comes to the obstacles we face in our relationships. She breaks it down for us when it comes to dealing with past issues manifesting themselves into our current relationships. We also discuss how to deal with our partner's insecurities, especially when they feel entitled to our social media passwords, for example.

So, where do we go from here?

Almost every solution lies in having brutally honest conversations with our significant other especially when it comes to what each of us may be lacking. We hope this episode provides you with clarity, regardless if you're single, engaged or have been married for ten plus years.

Every relationship comes with its struggles, so why not have the necessary tools to overcome them?
