If you and your partner are super planners, then I am sending you a high-five; nice work on creating conversations where your future life together matters. I've discovered with my clients who aren't taking their future into their own hands that they are waiting for their partner to do it for them and then resenting them when they don't. If you are the planner, then here is how you can start the conversation. Even if you AREN'T a planner but want to be, this episode will help you get started. In this week's episode, I share the very steps that I used in my marriage to get this conversation started and how you can quickly begin these conversations or your own, starting this week.

⁣⁣Would you recognize if you were acting contemptuously towards your spouse? Check out these three examples of contempt where you are placing yourself in a more "superior" position than your partner:⠀⠀
⠀⠀
"How would you like it if I did that to you?"⠀⠀
⠀⠀
"I'd never do to you!"⠀⠀
⠀⠀
"I'm not THAT bad."⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Most of us might know that we're not enjoying the experience, whether it is us partaking in the act of contemptuous behavior or our partner. Still, we might not realize that we are being contemptuous. Contempt is like cyanide to your marital relationship, so knowing what it is and being committed to putting an end to it will be one step towards creating a marital dynamic that feels so much better. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Listen to this week's episode to find out what it is, how it might be a part of your relational modeling, and how to start changing your approach.⠀

Have you ever wondered what you will think about your marriage when you get to the end of your life?

This week on the podcast, I share my end-of-year reflections, my 2022 projections, and a warning to those of you waiting for your marriage to "fix" itself.

Many of us have stopped bringing up "touchy" topics with our partners because it creates conflict and unresolved anger, and it feels awful and gets us nowhere.⠀
⠀
What if you discovered a different way to approach what is bothering you in your marriage, a way that would actually bring some discussion and understanding between the two of you? ⠀
⠀
Would you be willing to try it?⠀
⠀
You may think complaining is something you shouldn't be doing in your marriage, but the truth is that most of us are doing it all wrong. Instead of complaining, we are using criticism which will drive nails into the coffin of our marriage. ⠀
⠀
This week on the podcast, I will help you discover which one you are using when you are conveying how you feel about your spouse or what they did or didn't do, and then help you self-correct in a way that strengthens the relationship. Listen in to find ways to open up the conversation instead of shutting it down.⠀

There are seven predictors that can help you see if your relationship is headed towards divorce. If your marital conflict discussions contain six of them, your marriage is predicted to last 5-6 years. If your marital conflict discussions don't contain these six divorce predictors, but your relationship does contain the seventh, it could take SIXTEEN years for that divorce to happen. SIXTEEN YEARS is a long time to be in a passionless marriage, especially when it's entirely possible to turn things around. This week I start a series where I discuss these seven indicators to use this information in your favor.

Welcome to December and all of the things! The last month of the year can be an emotional tug-of-war for many of us. Commitments on top of an already over-committed schedule, reviewing the year and the list of things you said you would achieve but didn't, family...oh and then you might as well sprinkle a bit of all the extra food over the top of everything. This week on the podcast, I am sharing my best tip for handling all of the emotions that are about to come your way if they haven't already started flooding on in.

Last week you learned what bids for attention are, and you learned that the way to create connection in your relationship is to turn towards your partner when you notice them tossing a bid at you. This week I share the three ways we can respond to our partner's bids, two of which might be unintentional acts that create the opposite of what we want in our marriage. Listen to this week's episode because what we don't know can tear us apart.

Bids for connection are attempts to get someone's attention; any action intended to create a positive connection. They could be a simple smile or an out-of-place statement like "look at that dog over there!" Once you start paying attention to bids, you may be surprised to discover that your spouse is throwing bids that you might be dropping. This week's episode will help you understand what a bid for connection is, how to start making bids, and how to catch bids that are being tossed at you!
