What does it really take to build a lasting, loving relationship? In this special episode from the 10% Happier Podcast, Koshin Sensei and Chodo Sensei join Dan Harris and his wife, Bianca, for a candid conversation about marriage, connection, and the deep work of being in relationship.
Together, they explore:
- How early childhood experiences shape the way we relate to our partners
- The importance of understanding each other’s “operating manuals” and co-creating a shared path forward
- The role of humor—when it helps and when it hurts
- Why doing your own inner work outside of the relationship is essential
- How learning to be uncomfortable—together—can strengthen intimacy
Rooted in wisdom, honesty, and humor, this conversation offers insight into the realities of partnership and how we can show up with more awareness, compassion, and presence.
