About this episode
I'm chatting with Zach Brittle, host of Marriage Talk Radio and a Gottman-trained marriage therapist who's been working with couples for over 20 years. We discuss everything from what singles should know about long-term relationships before they start dating to why "negative sentiment override" can slowly poison even good relationships. Zach breaks down the three factors that drive positive sentiment and explains why repair is more important than resolve in conflict. He also shares practical strategies for navigating hard conversations. At the end, we tackle a dating dilemma about a couple who can't seem to stop fighting when they're apart.THANKS TO OUR PARTNERSFactor: Get 50 percent off and free breakfast for a year factormeals.com/di50offMeundies: Get up to 50% off on underwear with code DATING! meundies.com/datingQuince: Get free shipping & 365-day returns on luxe basics, bedding, and more. quince.com/taliaPique Life: Unlock 20% off your first order! piquelife.com/datingWayfair: Get organized, refreshed, and back on track this new year for WAY less. wayfair.comCONNECT WITH ME:⁠Ask a question for me to answer on the pod⁠⁠Slide into my DMs on IG @dating.intentionallyMORE FREE ADVICE & CONTENT⁠Free texting templates & dating FAQ guide⁠⁠Get more dating advice from me on YouTube⁠SUPPORT THE POD⁠Rate on AppleSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/
