Tactics for Making Relationships Work

John Kim and Vanessa Bennett, both licensed marriage and family therapists, share their insights on making relationships work. They emphasize that finding 'the one' doesn't mean the work is over; relationships require constant effort. One key tactic they mention is fighting in a healthy way, focusing on fair and productive communication instead of avoiding conflict. They argue that finding a way to understand before being understood can transform relationships, fostering empathy and creating a safe space. Additionally, they highlight the importance of finding beauty in the differences between partners, rather than letting those differences lead to irritation or discomfort.
