Summary
Why would you schedule a business meeting, but not time to check in with your partner?
You have to KNOW where your relationship is at currently, in order to grow together
It’s like saying “hey I really want to get to Chicago” but you don’t know whether you’re starting from Portland or LA…
Why would you try to go somewhere without knowing your starting point?!
Every couple needs to know:
-What is working–each other’s STRENGTHS
-What isn’t working–areas for improvement
-What are the ways you can better support one another
-What do you need from one another...ETC
Most couples don’t make the time to check-in and have these conversations…
In my experience as a couples' therapist–the couples who do these conversations, and do them well–SCHEDULE THEM
You SCHEDULE what you prioritize
When something is scheduled; that makes it real.
Inside the episode you will learn:
-Why you NEED to approach your relationship like a business
-How to have “relationship business meetings”
-Why investing in your relationship matters
-Aaaaand so much more!
Make sure you go listen to this episode and let me know your takeaways by shooting me a DM or screenshotting the episode and tagging me in your story!
