Bridget discusses love languages and how we can all have relational care through understanding the basic work needed to create a healthy foundation.
We often speak to our partner in the love language we want to receive instead of understanding how they receive love.

Remember, it takes time to implement these changes, rebuild trust, and build connection. Give yourself and your relationship some kindness.
