We also explore the concept of anger as a covering emotion and the need for forgiveness and personal growth in healing relationships. We all as parents need to take responsibility for our actions and possibly offer empathy and compassion for our own parents' struggles.

The conversation goes deeper as we explore the importance of personal growth and self-improvement in the context of marriage. We can only change ourselves and our reactions, which can lead to positive changes in our relationships.

We touch on the fact that there is often  resistance to change and fear of uncertainty that can arise in relationships. But it is important that take responsibility for our own lives and actions.
