Habits for Your Happily Ever After

Don't Ruin Your Date Night


Listen Later

The wrong date night can cause more conflict, but an effective date night bonds you. So how do you know what to choose when you’re planning your date night?

It’s important to create “dates” that nourish the complexity in your relationship. 

If you’ve been listening to my podcast for a while, you know that I believe there are three roles inside your singular relationship: Partner, Friend, and Lover.

  • The Partner helps you ACHIEVE and you feel bonded as teammates.
  • The Friend understands you and, thus, you feel like you BELONG.
  • The Lover WANTS you, and when you feel wanted, your confidence soars.

Design Your Date Night 3-Part Series

This episode is the first in a 3-part series to help you understand the three roles inside your singular relationship, and how each of them need just a little different type of nurturance.

Our goal today is to understand what The Partner Role needs to have a great date night that will nurture the totality of your relationship. Because when The Partner Role is nourished, you have far less conflict.

What is it that creates a great date night for The Partner Role in your relationship?

Today we discuss the power of designing a date night specifically dedicated to The Partner Role in your relationship.

  1. You’ll learn why, if The Partner ain’t happy, ain’t nobody gonna be happy in your relationship
  2. You’ll learn the key skill that defines the Partner Date
  3. And you’ll see why the calendar is such a crucial part of The Partner Date

Habit for Your Happily Ever After

This week’s habit for your happily ever after is to carve out time to serve the needs of The Partner in your relationship.

The heart of your Partner-Relationship is about learning how to face the adulting moments of life together and address the perceived inequities. Consequently, we need to first notice where those troublesome spots are. All we’re doing, though is identifying the trouble spots. Don’t let your planning energy devolve into conflict.

Date Night Discussion

The promise of this 3-part series is to help you understand the three roles inside your singular relationship, and how each of them need just a little different type of nurturance.
