In this episode we discuss specific ideas that we should consider when answering the question, "Am I the one for you?" We will go over topics such as not holding grudges, spending time with, encouraging, praying for, respecting, and laughing in our relationships.  We discussed how these things can be indicators of the strength of your relationship.  Join us in this conversation. 

We often ask ourselves the question is he/she the one for me?  What does he do for me?  What does she give to me? We have many ideas about what we're looking for in a long term relationship, but we don't ask ourselves the same question very often.  Why am I the one for them? What do I bring to this relationship? This is a hard question for a lot of us to answer.  We are going to explore why this is such an important question when building a relationship, whether you are starting out or have been in one for many years.  Let's get to it.

When does 1 + 1 = 1 ?  Relationship! We get into a relationship and have to take one set of ideas and traditions, put it together with another set of ideas and traditions, and get 1 set of ideas and traditions.  This is easier thought about than done.  As in most things, it takes work.   When we get married we each bring our own perspectives on the way things should be done into a relationship.  But if we are not willing to be open to compromise it could cause problems. Do you ever feel that your way is the right way and the only way? Can you be open to creating our way?  Get ready to learn how to build the foundation of our way out of your way and my way.   

We will learn about taking a check-up from the neck up.  Let's do a self-assessment and learn how our response to certain things in our life can affect our relationships.  Is there a better way to handle stress? Constructive criticism? Disagreements? Anger? It is important to recognize red flags in our selves so that we can put our best selves forward in a relationship.  Enjoy!

Do you have questions about taking your relationship to the next level?  Have you thought about what you need to do to prepare yourself for a long-lasting relationship?  Perhaps you are in a relationship that is not very strong.  In this episode, we will discuss some practical steps to lay the foundation for moving a relationship to the next level.  Get ready to enjoy!
