Susan L. Adler, a seasoned couples counselor, provides valuable advice on nurturing relationships. She presents three key tools to foster trust, goodwill, and team spirit, ultimately paving the way for happier and enduring partnerships.
When our relationships are in trouble, we feel wounded and misunderstood, so we can’t always see our own role in all that unhappiness. We give ourselves a free pass, then we magnify our partner’s every misstep, we store up all that hurt and pain in what I call a black bag of resentment. That resentment is a relationship killer. – Susan L. Adler
Your relationship is like a garden. A garden needs water and fertilizer and sunshine to grow, and a relationship needs connection and communication and playfulness to blossom. When we nourish our relationship, we become a team and we build the trust and goodwill that we’ll need to get us through the difficult times. – Susan L. Adler
