10/30/23 Being Mature in Relationships

Ask yourself: What are the ingredients of a strong relationship? Our guest today argues that they include paying attention to each other, accepting one another’s quirks, showing appreciation, being affectionate, and giving each other the space you need to flourish. On some level, this may sound obvious—or even simple—but we all know it’s far from easy. So, how do we actually do all this? How do we show up in our relationships in mature and balanced ways, deepen our connections, and make sure that our relationships are as strong and meaningful as possible? These are just some of the questions we explore in this episode. Host David B. Feldman speaks with Dr. David Richo, psychotherapist and author of more than 25 books, including How to be an Adult in Relationships: The Five Keys to Mindful Loving.
