Dr. Guralnik emphasizes that couples must shift focus from self-centered perspectives to learning about their partners, fostering better communication and understanding.
She argues that contemporary relationships suffer from a solipsistic approach, where individuals prioritize their need for validation over truly listening to their partners.
In her view, successful relationships depend on asking, 'What can I learn about my partner?' rather than solely striving to express one's own perspective.
Guralnik suggests that letting go of the need for constant validation allows couples to engage more deeply, enhancing their connection and emotional intimacy.
