3 Fruits of a Healthy Relationship
Want to know the 3 fruits of a healthy relationship? That’s what we’re uncovering in today’s episode. Have you ever heard that your relationships can only be as healthy as you are as an individual? Hear renowned psychologists and authors Drs Les and Leslie Parrott speak about what people hunger for when seeking healthy relationships and where to start to engage in a healthy, long-term relationship.
According to Dr Parrott, “If you try to build intimacy with another person before you’ve done the difficult work of getting whole or healthy on your own, all your relationships become an attempt to complete yourself and they will fall flat”. Moreover, when you’re searching for a person to be in relationship with, “it’s not about finding the right person, it’s about becoming the right person”.
Learn how to begin a new relationship with awareness of positive and negative self talk, as well as the 3 major areas of any relationship to consider on today’s episode!

The one sentence that can revolutionize any relationship: “If you try to build intimacy with another person before you’ve done the difficult work of getting whole or healthy on your own, all your relationships become an attempt to complete yourself and they’ll fall flat. Guaranteed.” I felt this could apply to spouses in Limerence and the standing spouses working on their PIE’s. It gave me hope.
This was so good!!! Sooooo Spot ON Kimberly!!! Took the free test and need to work on myself more. For those that are not sure if PIES is for you this should tell you that it is important to work on yourself in order to improve relationships.
