Most Relationships Fall Into This 1 Trap (2347)

What if the real problem in your relationship is how each person thinks about growth?

In this episode, Kevin asks Alan direct questions about a pattern he sees again and again while coaching couples. They talk about why partners can feel out of sync, how belief in yourself affects effort and results, and what happens when one person is moving forward faster than the other. Alan shares lessons from years of working with real couples, and Kevin challenges the ideas in real time so listeners can understand what this means for their own lives.

If you want a stronger relationship and a clearer future together, this conversation will make you think. Decide whether you are building forward or standing still.
