Julian Peterson argues that the success of a relationship depends on both partners being willing to put in the effort to reconcile and improve things after conflicts.

“it's all about finding someone that is willing to put in the effort to improve the relationship you know over the years because people change and their needs change and their interests change”

The greatest threat to relationships is abandoning one's authentic self to maintain peace.

“I would say the biggest killer of relationships is being out of integrity with your authentic power and abandoning yourself to create peace in the relationship”

Avoiding eye contact during direct questioning is a common indicator of dishonesty or gaslighting.

“I boil people down between people who can look you in the eye and people who can't I have I hear you and if you can't look me in the eye when you're talking to me I don't trust you”
