Tip Week Strengthen Relationships Couples

May, 2018

tip of the week to strengthen relationships for couples

If you have something important you want to discuss with your spouse or partner, asking “Is now a good time to talk?” can make a big difference.

It gives the other person a “heads up” that you want their undivided attention, that this is important to you, that you want them to really listen to you. It also shows that you are respectful of their time and are not assuming that they are available on your time schedule. If your partner or spouse says no, it’s not a good time, accept that and ask for an appointment within 24 hours when he/she will talk to you.

spring into a better you

Even if the weather makes us feel like it is winter, spring is upon us. If your New Year’s resolution was to focus on ways to enhance your purpose this is a great time to reflect and assess. One of the ways to review the first half of the year is to see how you are working toward your goals. Do you have the information you need to make progress? What are your values and are they working for you or against you? Do you feel like you have the support you need to do the things you want to do? Having goals is the first step, and then creating a plan of action to meet those goals is next.

this valentine’s day and beyond, will your relationship flourish or end?

It is close to that time of year again when relationships and love have some time in the spotlight. The national holiday does remind us of love, but where is love the rest of the year?

People say “love is in the air,” or maybe for you, your love comes through your phone, since the face emoji with heart eyes is in the Top 10 of emoji favorites. Stevie Wonder claimed, “I Just Called to Say I Love You,” Herbie the Car was a “Love Bug,” and then there is Gary Chapman’s book The Five Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts. But how do we really know if we are in love or if our relationships based in love will last?
