Episode 20: Power and Control On this thought-provoking episode of 3D UpClose and Personal, David, Danielle, and Darryl dive deep into the many layers of power and control in relationships. They start with the financial side—how money can create imbalance—and move into the struggles of dealing with control freaks, selfishness, manipulation, and poor communication. The conversation also touches on trust, compromise, and the importance of shared decision-making. From raising children to entertaining relatives, decorating the home, planning weddings, and even naming babies (and family pets!), the hosts explore how power dynamics show up in everyday life. This candid discussion shines a light on the subtle and not-so-subtle ways control plays a role in relationships, and what it takes to build balance, respect, and genuine care for one another
