Relationship Issues

As human beings, we are social creatures at our core. If you ask most people to consider what matters most to them in their life, the vast majority will start naming their relationships — with their kids, their family, their partner, their friends. Relationships are at the heart of what tends to give us a sense of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment. The science of relationships backs this up — the quality of our social relationships predicts our happiness and well-being, all sorts of medical health outcomes, and even how long we will live!

And yet, we often don’t put time and energy into working on our relationships to the same degree we work on other areas of life — we can spend years working hard to advance our careers, exercise routinely to work on our physical fitness, maybe even spend hours and hours pursuing hobbies and passion projects… but we rarely invest that sort of attention to intentionally building strong relationships. In fact, research shows that most married couples will suffer for an average of 6 years in an unhappy relationship before seeking help with couples therapy!
