Romantic relationships often show us the deep divide between
expectations and reality. For any relationship struggling to
overcome conflict, the first step to starting over may be
identifying how your vision of marriage is out of step with your
partner’s. In this episode of How to Start Over, we explore
why some marriages can withstand conflict, why most couples
struggle to validate their partner’s needs, and how to think about
when a breakup is in order—by better understanding why the
relationship is struggling. This episode was produced by
Rebecca Rashid and is hosted by Olga Khazan. Editing by A.C. Valdez
and Claudine Ebeid. Fact-check by Ena Alvarado. Engineering by
Matthew Simonson. Special thanks to Adrienne LaFrance, executive
