Episode 3167:

Angel Chernoff finishes the list of nine with the habits that decide how a couple handles friction. She covers letting the couple's own compass outrank outside opinion, choosing to be happy together over being right alone, dropping guessing games in favor of asking directly, living as though a partner is always in the room, and meeting each other's ordinary human failures with patience. The through line is that repair, not perfection, is what keeps a relationship healthy.

Quotes to ponder:

"Blaming each other only delays discovering the solution that will move your relationship forward."

"If you wouldn't want your partner to know what you're doing, should you really be doing it?"

"Patience is simply the ability to let your light shine on the one you love, even after your fuse has blown."
