Summary
Are you in one of these 3 places: feel less fulfilled in your marriage, you are thinking that the relationship should end, or you are active in keeping your fulfillment high by preventing anything from lowering it?
Whichever place you find yourself this episode is about exploring the main reasons we see couples struggle that lead to lower levels of satisfaction and fulfillment in their relationships. This is a new style episode where we each write down our own lists from what we have seen in couple's relationship assessments, our personal coaching, and the live workshops we have done.
In this episode you will hear each of us share our list of top reasons why relationships fall into these seasons, and we won't know what the other had on their list. After listening to this episode you will be able to bring each of these reasons into your awareness and have a simple action to take to prevent that reason from continuing. All so that you can raise and maintain your fulfillment in your relationship, no matter the time you have been together or the challenge you face.
