How can a mobile app help your relationship? Why is it so difficult for men to access their feelings, and describe them to their partners? How does the human capacity for adaptation sometimes work against growth in relationships? In this episode, we interview Mike Bosworth, who works with his partner Jennifer Lehr, MFT on an app called WeConcile.
We also handle a listener question from a woman who wants to know how to get her husband to work with her on improving their marriage--when he just wants to blame her for being too sensitive.
