Episode Description

After working as a divorce lawyer for nearly a decade, Erik Newton, JD, turned his attention towards helping couples build healthy relationships instead! Erik will share the insights he learned from separating couples that can help you to create a solid foundation for your relationships. He’ll discuss universal truths underlying marriage that counter unrealistic romantic ideals we adopt through societal messages. He’ll talk about the value of conflict and the fallacy that is rooted in playing the role of a martyr, prioritizing principle at the expense of your relationship.
