In this episode, we discuss Gottman's distinction between a perpetual and solvable problem (https://www.gottman.com/blog/managing-conflict-solvable-vs-perpetual-problems/). It's easy to mistake personality difference with "right vs. wrong." We help explain why it's important to know the difference and how to communicate effectively when there may be a deeper personal issue.
