It’s easy to see why the skills required to build a happy relationship are becoming a lost art. I mean it only takes a second to swipe right on a tinder photo to meet someone new.
And yes, this might seem a whole lot easier than navigating ongoing issues with your current partner. However, in many cases this is a short term fix.

If this is your experience it doesn’t have to be. Once you know the secrets of a happy relationship, and begin to apply them, you will be able to ask for what you need without blaming, attacking or feeling defensive.
