288. 7 Steps to Resolving Conflict In Your Marriage

<p dir="ltr">Hey there, it's Joy Harrington, and I'm thrilled to have you on the show today. We're tackling a topic close to many hearts – the connection between resentment and libido. On my Instagram, I often dive into how these two aspects, especially for women, are intertwined. Resentment can be a significant barrier to emotional and physical intimacy, often rooted in communication breakdowns. Today, let's focus on practical communication strategies to break down those barriers. From practicing active listening to choosing the right time and place, these steps can make a real difference. Remember, communication is a two-way street, but positive change can start with just one person. For those eager to explore further, my Resentment Trap course is now on a special Black Friday sale – 50% off for those on my email list. Thanks for tuning in, and I look forward to having you back on the show next week.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">"In relationships, resentment can act as a significant barrier to both emotional and physical intimacy.
