When people talk about relationships, they often focus on finding “the one”. The perfect match. The soulmate. The person who makes their heart race and their life feel complete. But after years of working with couples, I’ve come to believe that the success of a relationship isn’t determined by whether you’ve found “the one”.

One of the most powerful needs we bring into our intimate relationships is the need to be emotionally validated. Validation is about being seen, heard and understood. When our emotions are acknowledged instead of dismissed, it creates safety, intimacy, and connection.
