How can couples reverse the buildup of resentment once they notice it?

By giving up the notion that someone has to “win” or that anyone loses by saying “you are right”, “I am sorry”, or “I can do better.”

Time (physics): Who started counting our current time or is it just "set" by some scientific measure?

By resolving to listen with curiosity rather than defensiveness.

By internalizing that responding with kindness is strength, not weakness.

By wanting to truly understand each other, despite feeling unheard.

Kuorans, what are some things unique to your country?

By taking turns talking.

By learning to validate what the other is feeling. “I can absolutely see why you feel this way.”
