Bonus Episode: Building A Resilient Couple Relationship

/

Happy Valentine's Day!

So... I kinda don't love Valentine's Day... There, I said it! And I don't think I'm alone in that, right? One of the reasons is that I really don't like the idea that ONE DAY is enough to measure the success of a relationship, or enough to nurture a relationship. If we are partnered with a person, we need regular check ins and nourishment for that relationship, not just one day! So, with that said, here is an episode for how to consistently show up for your relationship (not your partner, but the relationship you have with them), in a way that is sustainable and supports the building of a resilient relationship that can weather any storm.

With this bonus episode, I want to give you Five Tips To Build a Resilient Relationship with your partner that you can put into place today! Now, these tips will also be helpful not just to your relationship with your husband or wife, but these tips will help nourish ANY close relationship you have (so don't miss out on this episode!)

Here's an overview of the five tips (I made an Instagram post so check it out!):

  1. Set an intention. Take some time to get clear with your goals together. It is a way to figure out what you want out of the relationship during these stressful times.

  2. Get curious. Curiosity is one of the most powerful things to bring in any relationship. It will help you learn and understand your partner even more. The Gottman Card Deck App (you can download it in App Store) is a great game to help you get interested and curious with your partner.

  3. Use the 4 C's of conscious communication (Connection, Curiosity, Clarity, and Compassion). You can use these anytime you are getting ready to start communicating your needs with your partners.

  4. Work together. You need to align with each other despite your differences. Make a plan and develop a shared purpose.

  5. Build a foundation of friendship. Get to know each other again. Go out on a date and spend time together. A strong foundation helps your relationship become resilient.
