HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT IN A RELATIONSHIP

These my Empowered Relationship podcast show notes. Be sure to listen to the full episode to hear stories, examples, and more tips.

Dr. Corey Allen and I had a great conversation talking about Asking For What You Want & Getting It.

Dr. Corey Allen is a husband, father, author, speaker, as well as a Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Ph.D. in Family Therapy.

“GROWING UP” IN RELATIONSHIP:
  • Marriage is designed to help us grown up
  • Growth does not have to be a threat
  • We can use experiences (good and bad) as a practice ground
  • “Get out of the harbor” to gain more skill and mastery
  • Dr. David Schnarch and his work for passionate marriages
  • Intimacy & Desire book written by Dr. David Schnarch
MIND MAPPING:
  • Predicting what your partner is thinking and what they are going to do
  • Do you allow yourself to be read?
GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY:
  • Know what you want is okay. Practice self-validation
  • Work with your fear of asking for what you want
  • Asking is half the battle. Our fear is usually worse than reality
HOW ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT IN A RELATIONSHIP:
  • Know what you want
  • Give yourself permission to ask
  • Be in the practice of asking
DIFFICULT DYNAMICS WE GET INTO IN A RELATIONSHIP:
  • Placating
  • Complacency
  • Subtle manipulation – we all want things a certain way
  • Obligation
  • Expectation
MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY:
  • “Call it out.” You can dramatically change the dynamic in the relationship
  • How important is this to you?
  • See varying levels of desire between partners, as merely a difference
  • Be honest about what you want
  • Be clear about what you want
RECEIVE:
  • Be present
  • Breathe
  • Try to enjoy
  • “Let your partner do their job”
SUMMARY:
  • Figure out where you get in your own way
  • Get out of your own way
  • Let your partner do their job, while you do your job
  • “Get out of the harbor”
MENTIONED:
  • Simple Marriage
  • Sexy Marriage Radio
    • Assume your wife is the most spontaneous, adventurous woman on the face on the planet
    • Her job is to say, “no” to anything that she is not interested in
    • When you do hear “no,” refer back to number one- 3 Simple Rules For Fantastic Sex (For Men)
