Consider for a moment that we are relational beings and now consider that on average most people will have about 9% quality time with their loved ones in a day.

Personal differences are normal and we are going to get into disagreements and feel misunderstood yet what is imperative is how we repair.

Repair is part of the skillset we learn in counselling.
