Family therapist Willa Williams dives into the physical, psychological, and spiritual benefits of good communication and conflict management, helping you develop the skills necessary for a happy, healthy marriage.

The panel discusses their thoughts on theological agreement within marriage in this Q&A session.

Dear CMR,

I feel like I have heard it all — "relationships are a two-way street," "both people need to be in it to win it," and "it's not healthy to be in a one-sided relationship." What do you suggest in a relationship where only one person wants to change and grow to work out the relationship while the other is complacent? How do you cope with it or try to make it thrive? 

Thanks, One-Sided Relationship
