    I have different priorities and goals than my partner. Do your couples goals not match?!

    It’s very tempting to think you aren’t on the same page anymore as your partner. Your goals and priorities are just too different. And that makes sense, after all, you might have some real disagreements about some hot button issues. 🔥🔥 ✅ Sometimes though, your goals ARE a match to your partners’ but there has been a lot of negativity getting in the way which makes it seem like you’re just on a different page than your spouse. ✨ Take a moment to reflect on the reasons you came together in the first place. What shared values and interests initially drew you to each other? Try the Relationship Vision exercise that we speak about in the video.

    [Podcast Episode] How can I ease the pain? Healing from relationship and generational trauma.

    It’s all about anxiety! 😟😟😰😰   We are wounded in relationship and once we become aware of that we can start to heal. Our parents and their ancestors all had their own anxiety and that anxiety is passed down to us, as children, showing up as unmet needs, when our parents just couldn’t attune to everything as they were in their own state. Our brains cannot develop fully in a state of anxiety. So if anxiety is present, it limits our ability to lead healthy lives. How to heal? ✔️Learning how to create a relationship where you can meet your partner in a calm and connected emotional stage, where you can regulate each other through your body language, eye contact, and safe communication can help you heal all of that anxiety so you can start to be attuned to the members of your family that are important to you, stopping the generational trauma in it’s tracks. ✔️The Imago dialogue is going to be your most important tool for creating this safe connection and conversation. -Relationship wounds can be healed by first acknowledging them and understanding their impact. -Anxieties from our parents and ancestors can influence our behavior, affecting our ability to attune to our own needs and the needs of others. -Anxiety hinders brain development and limits our capacity for a healthy life. -Building a relationship based on calmness and emotional connection, where partners use body language, eye contact, and effective communication to support each other, can help address and heal inherited anxieties, fostering stronger family bonds and breaking the cycle of generational trauma. 💗Enjoy our content and want more?

    [Podcast Episode] Identifying what stage of relationship you’re in will help you with expectations vs reality.

    What stage of relationship and marriage are you in? Understanding the 3 stages of relationship can really help you identify just where you are in your life and help you make fully informed decisions about your marriage. ✔️The first stage is often referred to as the “Romantic Love” stage. This is characterized by intense emotions, passion, and a sense of euphoria. Couples in this stage often idealize each other and may overlook flaws, focusing instead on the positive aspects of their partner. It’s a time of deep connection and excitement, where everything feels new and thrilling. ✔️The second stage is the “Power Struggle” or “Conflict” stage. As the initial euphoria wears off, reality sets in, and couples begin to notice each other’s imperfections. This stage can be challenging as it often involves disagreements, misunderstandings, and conflicts. However, it is also an essential phase where partners learn to communicate, negotiate, and compromise. It’s a time for growth and developing a deeper understanding of each other. ✔️The third stage is the “Mature Love” or “Stability” stage. Having navigated through the challenges of the previous stages, couples who reach this phase have developed a strong, enduring bond. There is a sense of security, trust, and mutual respect. This stage is marked by a deep sense of companionship and a balanced partnership where both individuals feel valued and supported. Understanding these stages can help you recognize the natural progression of relationships and provide insight into where you and your partner stand and what’s fair to expect. Embracing each stage and its unique challenges and joys can lead to a more fulfilling and lasting marriage. 💗 Enjoy our content and want more?

    3 Ways to Find the Right Marriage Counselor for You

    It’s not easy to find a therapist, much less a couples therapist! That’s due to so many factors! In this episode, we talk about How to Find the Right Couples Therapist in 3 ways so that you can be sure that the effort you make towards getting real marriage help will actually work for you.

Believe it or not, many therapists work with couples and have no advanced certification to do so! Step 2: Interview Them Talk with them, research their training in couples therapy (hint: it should be more than one marriage and family class!) and make sure you resonate with them Step 3: Explore Alternatives to Weekly Marriage Counseling Sessions Explore alternatives to couples therapy- a marriage intensive, couples workshop, couples therapy retreat – a short, finite amount of time that is an intervention of sorts can sometimes be much more effective than going to counseling for months on end once a week. 🖐️ Find out what we did to fix our own marriage- Download our Free 60 Second Plan to a Happy & Healthy Marriage- what took us many years to figure out, we’ve distilled for you in 60 seconds. ✅ https://themarriagerestorationproject.com/free-guide-60-second-plan-to-a-happy-and-healthy-marriage 🖐️ Come see us at our upcoming marriage intensive retreats, for a quick infusion of foundational marriage principles and actual tools that you can use at home to get through the difficulties that life throws at us! ✅ https://themarriagerestorationproject.com Your marriage is worth the best help out there- regardless of distance- we are passionate about helping couples get real time help that works no matter what the issues are.

    Why weekly marriage counseling does not always work and what to do instead.

    Intensive marriage retreats are the fastest way to achieve clarity on your situation and to know if your marriage is salvageable. Let’s face it- weekly marriage counseling can “stretch” out for months sometimes even years. You don’t have that amount of time to wait for answers! Plus, if your spouse is hesitant to working on the marriage, then getting them into one marriage counseling session that may not go well will turn them away from getting help ever again. Consider an intensive marriage retreat instead of weekly counseling sessions. It’s like an intervention or an immersive experience of sorts. Read more about our intensive marriage retreat options here and find one closest to you ASAP.
