Hi Friend, No matter what you want in your relationship, achieving it largely depends on... One Thing.
If you get this One Thing right, everything else becomes much easier.
This One Thing is actually the #1 result people say they want when they attend the "Between Men and Women" Online Couples Workshop .
No matter what you want...Whether it's intimacy; connection; fun; the ability to resolve arguments quickly, or better yet, to avoid them as much as possible; to more easily plan and reach goals; to get on the same page about raising the kids; to talk about finances; or even just planning your day so there are no surprises...it's all foundationed on this One Thing.
And as many couples are finding out today, as they self-isolate and spend more time together and with the kids than they probably have ever before, lacking this One Thing can monumentally elevate stress, while possessing it can diffuse and minimise stress and make life not only bearable but enjoyable.
In short, whatever you want from your relationship, achieving it becomes infinitely easier when you have...
Good Communication.
What is "good communication"?
It's communication that connects. It's communication that respects each other. It's communication free of judgement and make-wrong. It's communication that expresses what's there for you without blaming the other person. It's communication that builds bridges rather than tearing them down.
And communication isn't limited to the words you speak. In fact, many experts say most of the "communication" that goes on between people is non-verbal. You also communicate with your body language, your posture, by rolling your eyes, and with the "tone" of your voice. They all impart a message to the other person. Your beliefs also have a huge affect on how you interpret events and react to them.
What's the key to communicating effectively?
Well, part of it is understanding who you are communicating with. It also involves being aware of the words that come out of your mouth, the messages you give with your body and tone, and how those things affect the other person. Understanding a little physiology doesn't hurt either, since hormones, and different parts of the the brain directly impact how we interpret and respond to what our partner says and does.
One way to get some of this information is to sift through the 82,200,000 search results that come up when you google "how to improve communication in marriage". My eyes glaze over at the thought of it!
Alternatively, you can get trusted, proven guidance from a couples communication expert with close to 15 years experience (that would be me :-) !) by joining us on April 25-26 for the "Between Men and Women" Online Couples Communication Workshop.
During the workshop, you'll get about 12 hours of in-person empowerment, as we unlock the vault that holds the secret to good communication between you and your partner:
- Your and your partner will get to know each other as a man or a woman. This means you will understand what triggers each other; what each of you need from the other to feel safe; and why you each react as you do to what's happening in the relationship.
- We will also uncover "blind spots" that are part of the human condition regardless of gender. Seeing these blind spots at last, free you from repeating habit of relating that are destructive, unhealthy, and that sap your energy. You will have access to creating new, more empowering habits that serve you, your relationship and your quality of life.
- Since communicating is a two-way street, you will both get clear on not only what to say and when to say it so you don't sabotage your communication out of the gate, but you will also discover how to listen to each other so the communication circuit actually gets completed.
- You will hear an incredibly freeing conversation about how male and female hormones, as well as differences in brain structure, impact how men and women respond to the world around them. You can't change these biological factors, but this knowledge empowers you with an awareness that gives you both more control over your actions and reactions.
