A relationship, in essence, is a learning environment. Today, Dr. Gwen explains how when you are in a relationship with someone, you have to become a student of them. Tuning in, you’ll hear about how tension arises when people try to make each other who they want them to be, instead of allowing them to be themselves. You’ll also discover why learning about someone requires patience from both parties, how problems arise when you don’t pay attention or make an effort to learn about the other person, and how people change, meaning a lifelong relationship requires lifelong learning. For all this, and some Biblical wisdom thrown in, tune in today!
