A couple is fighting, and they have come to you for help. They fight verbally four times a week. She complains, “He doesn’t listen, he doesn’t look me in the eye and he doesn’t pay attention to me when I talk.” He complains back saying, “She is always doing something; cleaning, talking on the phone, texting, and I think she never sleeps. I wish she would just calm down.” Their 10-year relationship is in trouble and you are there to find biological reasons for their problems.
