This newsletter contains such research, as well as tips on maintaining a healthy relationship and handling conflict. You'll find a free assessment that will help you understand your communication style and find ways to improve communication if necessary, and an opportunity to share your best tips and see what dozens of other readers have learned from experience. Enjoy your loved ones, and the rest of your week! -Elizabeth
