Summary

Dr. John Delony tells Lewis Howes the real reason relationships fall apart isn't the fight itself, it's choosing "me" over "us" every single time. Using a gutting 9/11 towers analogy from Esther Perel, Delony explains why trying to rebuild your relationship exactly as it was is a losing game, and what to do instead.
