Marriage 101: The Relationship Skills Nobody Ever Taught You w/ Dr. Alexandra Solomon

Most people enter relationships without ever being taught the skills needed to sustain one. Communication, conflict, intimacy, and emotional responsibility are often learned through trial and error instead of intention. Dr. Alexandra Solomon—licensed therapist, professor at Northwestern University, and author of Loving Bravely and Taking Sexy Back—joins Julie & Yue to explore the lessons behind her popular course Marriage 101. Rather than focusing on finding “the one,” her work centers on becoming “the one” through self-awareness, emotional growth, and relational skill-building.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why self-awareness is essential for healthy relationships
• How family history shapes the way we love
• Why conflict is something to work through, not avoid
• The role emotional and sexual intimacy play in long-term love
• What differentiation means and why it matters in relationships
