Description

In this illuminating episode, we delve deep into the heart of conflict within relationships. In my work with hundreds of couples I've noticed a common thread that keeps couples stuck in endless cycles of conflict: they're stuck in what I call "courtroom mentality," where both people are putting all their energy into trying to prove who is in the right and who is in the wrong. And this never leads anywhere helpful.  Join me as I unpack the real roots of relationship discord and discover the transformative power of focusing on needs over all else. Through engaging anecdotes based on actual clients and practical insights, we'll explore how to shift from a winner-loser mindset to one of win-win through connection, ultimately paving the way for deeper intimacy and harmony in your relationships. If you're tired of feeling stuck in conflict and yearn for greater understanding and connection with your partner, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in and embark on a journey toward healing, empathy, and true relationship satisfaction.   RESOURCES: I have two gifts for you!

Did you know that too much conflict and arguing is one of the top 3 reasons couples get divorced? According to Forbes, 58% of divorcing couples cited this as their #1 reason for splitting up. When I read this 2024 statistic, my first thought was: It doesn't have to be this way! Hi, I'm Ali Miller, and I created the Love Each Other Better Podcast to share relationship-saving tools and principles that will help you and your partner spend less time fighting and more time doing what you do best: loving each other. I'm a longtime Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and a Certified Coach specializing in couples communication and conflict resolution. I've worked with hundreds of couples over the past two decades, helping them work through their challenges and create thriving relationships. On the Love Each Other Better Podcast, I share transformational tools and inspiration from Nonviolent Communication to help couples find their happy again, tools I've only been sharing with my clients and students until now. I am overjoyed to be able to share them with you here on this podcast. Whether you're on the verge of divorce or just a tad bit dissatisfied in your relationship and know it can be so much better, you're in the right place if you want more fun, more ease, and more LOVE in your relationship. I'm so glad you're here.
