109. Letting Go Of Relationship Perfection w/ Dr. Pepper Schwartz

Feeling the pressure to have a "perfect fairytale" relationship with your partner? LET GO! Dr Pepper Schwartz says striving for perfection in your relationship will only escalate pressure, tension and resentment between you and your partner, so give yourself so grace and space! We also discuss the signs of love addiction, and the importance of taking realistic stock of your day-to-day happiness with your partner.  But first, we feature our weekly #GoodNewsMonday segment courtesy of @GoodNews_Movement. This story of a 104-year-old coming to tears for her birthday gift will make you misty.   RESOURCES:  Snap Strategies Book: https://www.amazon.com/Snap-Strategies-Couples-Everyday-Relationship/dp/1580055621  The Normal Bar Book:https://www.amazon.com/Normal-Bar-Surprising-Creating-Relationship/dp/0307951642/ref=pd_lpo_14_img_0/140-0040718-3025508?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0307951642&pd_rd_r=ac12e8ec-6ac8-4772-9aa5-e589479619c5&pd_rd_w=6vN6Q&pd_rd_wg=JUAbq&pf_rd_p=7b36d496-f366-4631-94d3-61b87b52511b&pf_rd_r=X3JNDQZSNC7MGQ637YQN&psc=1&refRID=X3JNDQZSNC7MGQ637YQN   Become a member of the Better Together community through Patreon!
