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

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

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.”

By resolving to listen with curiosity rather than defensiveness.

Arnold Schwarzenegger dubbed ‘weird and creepy’ for blunt reaction to son Patrick’s ‘White Lotus’ nude scene - Page Six

By deciding to stop with the criticism and the nagging and instead say thank you for everything you do for me. Thank you for loving me.

By taking turns talking.

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

Is the Las Vegas Grand Prix considered one of the "premier events on the Formula 1 calendar?"

By keeping in mind it’s OK to have different opinions and different experiences, and they both matter in equal measure.

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