Ask yourself, have you ever wanted to win an argument with your partner/spouse? Have you thought of yourself as completely right and your partner as fully wrong? Have you sought to prove your point, no matter the toll it took on your partner or relationship? If we are honest, just about all of us have done these things, and as a result, all of our relationships have suffered from it. It is time to shift our thinking from winning to collaborating!

Join us as we breakdown collaboration vs. competition in romantic relationships. When we are competitive in getting our needs met within our relationship, we actually push our partner away and reduce our chances of getting our needs met. Instead, we invite you to learn with us how to shift to a mindset of collaboration, ensuring both of you feel heard, seen, and cared for. Let’s improve your relationship together!  

 If you find this episode, or any of our other episodes, helpful to you, please share with those that you love! Let us know what you think about what you want us to talk about next by emailing us at [email protected]! 

In two weeks, we unpack phubbing your partner! Later topics include: parenting, self-acceptance, domestic violence, premarital tips for relationship success, navigating milestones as a couple, how to have tough conversations, self-awareness in relationships, and so much more!
