Isolation during the pandemic impacted all types of relationships. Friendships were put to the test, dating relied on technology more than ever, and couples had to navigate abrupt shifts in work and home life. Join Marjorie Morrison and Paul Deger on this episode as they explore the impact the pandemic had on our relationships.
"I think we really have to revisit our relationship with work to balance the other things–and have an expectation that it is equally, if not more important, for my family to be healthy, for my relationships to be healthy, for me to be in a healthy communion with others." - Dr. Bita Rivas
Marjorie and Paul hear from Dr. Bita Rivas about valuing relationships, using our energy and time to prioritize what is important, and choosing quality over quantity in our engagements.
