Healthier you —> healthier relationships.

We don’t love others in a vacuum, we love them through the lens of how we’ve learned to love ourselves. If someone shows up with harshness, disappointment, or pressure, it’s almost always because they’re carrying that same weight quietly inside.

And the same is true for us. When our heart is heavy or wounded, the love we offer tends to be guarded, anxious, or demanding. But when we heal, our love changes. It becomes steady, safe, and generous in a way that doesn’t drain us.

Healthy love doesn’t come from trying harder. It comes from healing deeper.

Yes. These perpetual issues can be handled with love, connectedness, and kindness even when unsolvable.

According to research by foremost relationship therapists and researchers, Drs. John and Julie Gottman, 69% of relational conflict is perpetual, not solvable. That means the conflict is rooted in ongoing differences between partners (e.g., personality, preferences).

Some people find this statistic to be disheartening or alarming. I actually find it to be comforting. It means that no matter who you’re in partnership with, there will likely be conflict. It’s not the presence of conflict that’s necessarily a problem. It’s whether the particular perpetual conflict you deal with is something you can manage and negotiate long-term.

Based on this research, the goal is not to solve all conflict. The goal is to better navigate conflict with respect and kindness.
