part 2 of "How to build a deeper connection with your partner"
A follow-up conversation from episode 43. Taking a deeper look at the strategy needed to build connection through the challenges of caregiving.
After working with a couple the other day, I wanted to share a deeper perspective with you. Example of a couple working through a basic task that could otherwise cause stress and potential resentment; they discovered how to work together and develop a deeper connection.
How could this change your life? Well, consider this:
Your Types of strength:
- Physical
- Health
- Relationship
Imagine improved strength in any one of those 3 areas. What does that look like in your life? What if all 3 areas were stronger. They are pillars for a well-balanced, healthy, fulfilled life.
First: what prevents effective connection? Take a listen to previous episode 43 “how to build a deeper connection with your partner” some examples:
- Poor communication
- Resentment
- Loss of hope and vision
- History of arguments, poor outcomes
- Lack of self-insight. You have to know yourself very well, identify your true emotions and the cause of them, to be an effective communicator
Next: opportunities for connection
- co-Developing a plan for living life with a focus on fulfillment. not just existing
- Building trust that is developed through allowing your partner to try to do more OR to help them in areas that they need help with the way they ask you to ( pause your preconceived ideas, hesitations, expectations and let them lead for this. Learn together. Remember to be partners)
- Exercising together or coaching your partner through a program with a specific goal
- Meal planning
- Community outing/travel
- Socializing with friends
What do you need?
- Insight (the capacity to gain an accurate and deep intuitive understanding of a person or thing.)
- Knowledge (facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject.
- Persistence
