Most people want a partner that supports them and cheers for them all the time. But - as you'll learn this episode - that's not always a good idea. Maybe you actually want a partner that's supportive and cheering most of the time. Randy and Beverly explain the difference between an "always partner" and an almost-always kind of partner." Plus they'll share how to be open to criticism in your relationship. #couplesgoals #howhappy #heartversushead

Are you both Hearts? Are you both Heads? Do you think it would be easier if you were with someone more like you? In this episode, Randy and Beverly talk about the importance of balance when it comes to relationship dynamics. In all disagreements, someone is going to be in Heart mode and someone is going to be in Head mode. If you're both doing it the same, you will end up going in circles (and slamming into the riverbank quite a bit). It's time to get your boat moving in the right direction... together.

If you've ever had one of those arguments that the Head partner couldn't move past... this episode explains part of the issue. When issues are discussed, Hearts will focus on the way everyone is feeling about the issue. They want to make it feel better so they can move past it. Heads are trying to identify the logical errors and so they don't get resolution from simply an apology. The trick in these arguments is for Heart partners to learn to "close the loop" with the Head. Randy and Beverly break it down in this episode of #HeartVersusHead #HowToEndAnArgument #CloseTheLoop #RelationshipGoals #CouplesCommunication

Randy crashed out. He was angry and ready to give up and walk away from even doing this week's podcast. When Heads get maxed out, they can shut down and explode. Hearts get maxed out too - especially when the Head is being angry. In this episode, Randy and Beverly take you inside their moment of being maxed out. Jump in and see how these problems arise and how to defuse them. If you feel like you're drowning... or you think you're the unappreciated one carrying everything in the relationship... you're probably in the middle of your own 'maxed out' moment. The lifeguard is coming but will you be calm enough for a rescue or will you drown them too? #MaxedOut #CrashOut #HeartVersusHead #stress #overloaded #cantdoitanymore #whytry

If you've ever had a disagreement that ended up in the Head partner storming off in a huff before the Heart partner even gets to the "important" part of what they were trying to say, then this episode is for you. This episode is for every Heart who has a lot of words and every Head who is overwhelmed by those words at times. Randy and Beverly help both partners understand how Hearts process their emotions out loud and Heads process internally before speaking. It's a good thing in a relationship because it provides balance but like so many things in the world of Heart Versus Head... it can be a minefield. If you're ready to enjoy some word salad... let's go...  #HeartVersusHead #WhyDoYouTalkSoMuch #WordSalad #processOutLoud
