    TBD - Episode 11: Tending Broken Dreams

    This week Justin and Miriam share one of their personal perpetual problems they've been experiencing. Principle 6 of "The 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work" focuses on "Overcoming Gridlock." We discuss how perpetual issues stem from an unrealized or broken dream. The goal here is not to solve these issues, but to talk through them, gain an understanding, and be able to overcome the anger, hurt, and frustration that stems from many of these issues. We dive into one of our own perpetual issues this week and break down how we have been able to talk through it and find a working compromise.  TBD Episode 11 Resources (Credit to John M Gottman, Ph.D and Julie Gottman Ph.D. The Seven Principles Couple Guide)
