You don’t need to be a relationship scientist to know that relationships are essential for happiness, health, and success. But in case you have doubts, research consistently shows that building good relationships is the cornerstone of “the good life. ”
The trouble is… relationships can be hard.
Whether it’s navigating a recurring argument with a friend or colleague, a persistent feeling of being misunderstood, a growing distance in your long-term partnership, or a relationship between your most important life roles that seems in perpetual conflict, relationships between people and roles often leave us feeling bewildered.
The truth is, even the best relationships come with challenges: tension, misunderstandings, managing differing needs, lack of intimacy, or figuring out how to move forward after trust has been broken.
Thankfully, relationship science offers valuable tools for so many of our most complex dilemmas.
