Welcome back, everyone, to The School of Greatness. Very excited about our guest, Gary John Bishop in the house. My man. Good to see you, brother. Good to see you, too. You've had a lot of success over the years with many books, but this book, Love, Getting a Relationship Together, is a powerful one, and we were just talking about this beforehand. A lot of people feel stuck in their relationships, and they get in the relationships, and they'll stay in relationships for years, and then something happens where they're like, it's not working, right? It's not working. Maybe it's a few years, maybe it's 10 years, 20 years. They're thinking, it's not working. They're trying to control the relationship. They're trying to change the person, trying to fix someone. And why do you think that so many people are stuck in relationships, in this mindset?

Yeah, I think there's a couple of things. First of all, thanks for having me. But I think there's a couple of things. One of them is, most often, by the time you're really struggling with it, you're now at the thick end of the wedge. So it started somewhere, though. It literally went off in a trail. And what happens with us in relationships is that trail's kind of okay at the beginning. You're kind of going along, you're like, okay, I can manage this. It's not the way it was, but it's still good. There's still good things in it. We're still compatible or together, whatever. By the time you're really struggling with it, you've lost sight of where you took the turn.
So a lot of the times with people, you got to begin with really a dress and how you got where you are, but not in the kind of typical way you would explain that, like we don't get along anymore, or I got fired, or my business went down. No, there was some fundamental shift in how you related to that other person.
