People are born with an innate desire for connection and emotional bonds. A healthy happy relationship is something that contributes great value and benefit to our lives, however, maintaining those relationships can, at times, be challenging. Couples often struggle with effective communication, criticizing one another out of anger, failing to be able to bring up important topics, lack of intimacy, conflicts with in-laws, not having a satisfying sex life along with a number of other relationship difficulties.
