How can understanding external and personal 'entities' improve couples' relationships?

By Brian Calley •

Entities are relationship influences: personality traits, past experiences, cultural expectations, family pressures, work stress.

Key insight: These entities interact and create relationship dynamics. Identifying which entities cause conflict helps couples target specific problems rather than argue in circles.

Practical outcome: Couples learn to recognize when an entity (like work stress or family expectations) is driving conflict, then address the source instead of attacking each other.
