Michael Dresser and Barbara talked about about what needs to happen between 2 people to make their relationship meaningful. One of the key points made is that you first have to “be” the person who you would want to be in a relationship with. Communicating with another on ways to receive and give love and sharing different definitions help decrease barriers to closeness, increase connection, and create a new perspective. She recommends getting on top of a problem early instead of adopting a wait and see attitude.
