Working on a new content project. The Seven Conversations. Since I am a marriage therapist, I am primarily addressing it through this lens, but I think it fits in other relational contexts as well. Here is a brief look into the the why and for each conversation.

A man came to the edge of a desert where many had setup camp to prepare for their journey across the land. This man asked one of the local guides how long it would take to get to the other side of the desert. The guide said nothing.
Then the guide responded to the man, “about 3 days.” The man asked why he didn’t say so in the first place, to which the guide said “I needed to see how fast you walked before I knew how long it would take you.”
