Mastering Your Relationship: Part 4 of 5

Episode Summary

This week's episode is part 4 of a 5 part series!! We did some research, ran the analytics, and asked you guys what you wanted to hear more of from us. Well, the verdict is in, you guys wanted to hear more about relationships, intimacy, and building a strong foundation with your partner. In this episode we cover our fourth set of 6 more foundations that build a strong, healthy relationship. First, we discuss the difficult but completely necessary, asking for what you want. We know this step isn't easy for everyone which is why we have listed several methods to help you ask for what you want! Second, we discuss something vital to living your daily life as well as maintaining a healthy relationship: always being you. It may not be obvious at first that you have been adapting yourself to fit your partner's needs which is why we go over a questionnaire for you to fill out and decide for yourself if you are too busy being someone else to be your real self. Then, we will discuss knowing your boundaries. We go over some signs of weak or missing boundaries and walk through a brief exercise on building stronger boundaries. We also discuss responsibility and how vital it is to a working relationship. We talk about how to strengthen your levels of responsibility and the different ways of handling the issue of irresponsibility in a relationship. We discuss it from both the stand point of you being the irresponsible party and also from your partner being the irresponsible party and how to handle each circumstance. We also discuss the green-eyed monster: jealousy. So many relationships suffer or end because of jealousy. We discuss how to get to the root of the cause of jealousy and then combat the issue itself. Finally, we talk about being slow and sure in your relationship. Not getting too caught up too fast when first starting out, or rushing into marriage or into having kids before you're ready, etc. We also talk about when you should commit to a relationship and when you should NOT commit to a relationship. In each of these discussions we offer advice, tips, and tricks to grow closer to your partner through these vital 6 steps. Get ready to take notes, we discuss exercises, tips, lists of ideas, and stories that may help you with where you are in your relationship right now. Even if you think your relationship is the strongest it has ever been, this podcast may help you build and even stronger relationship with your partner. Don't feel like taking notes?? No problem!!
