It’s constantly noted that one of the primary reasons for failed relationships is miscommunication. When couples fail to communicate effectively, they become disconnected, closed off and may experience feelings of emptiness, loneliness and confusion on how they got to that state within the relationship. Failed relationships and continuous miscommunication can be a painful and a life-altering experience for both parties. By working to understand the root causes of break-ups, divorces, and lack of communication, couples can take steps to prevent them and build healthy and lasting relationships. Let’s get into it!

So why not, “Make daddy a sandwich”?
