Taking Stock of Where You Are In Your Marriage

What level are you in your relationship? What is your model when it comes to marriage? There are 3 levels to a relationship. Level 3 means your marriage is outstanding. Both of you are playing full out in the relationship. Both parties are completely transparent in everything, and love permeates every day of your lives together. Level 2 means things are just fine. An average relationship when compared to others. Level 1 means things aren't working. Both of you are considering options...or divorce. Level 1 is the danger zone. The wife is not satisfied, the husband is not satisfied, and that dissatisfaction is showing up in your everyday lives. There's no love in the relationship. In this episode, we talk about the importance of acknowledging what level you're at. If you're on level two or one, it's time to do something. Find out how to take massive action to get out of those levels, and more about the tools you need in order to identify your blind spots. __________ Hungry for more?

Are You A 'DEER'?

Episode #272 Are you confident about your decisions? Are you insecure and worried about not getting approval from your wife? Unknowingly, men can become the beta in the relationship, especially when women start to make demands or test their partner. Men become more submissive. This is when the DEER appears: Defending, Excusing, Explaining, and Rationalizing. You only do that with someone you are subordinate to. If a man can effectively validate his wife, complaints will become a lot less frequent because she already feels seen and heard. There's no need for the DEER, just live your own passion, and follow your purpose. In this episode, you will learn how to get rid of the DEER in the relationship, and more about the importance of validation in lessening complaints from your wife. __________ Hungry for more?

Revisit: Break The Rules!

Episode #271 Success does not always mean having material things, making a lot of money, and getting that feeling of significance and respect from other people. Many financially successful people are unhappy because they became exhausted hustling and working hard thinking that these things will make them happy. There are so many rules in place that are holding them back and that makes their life monotonous. The more money they make, the more they become unhappy because these rules take them farther away from the real essence of what it means to be a human being. This void cannot be filled with material things. Fill this void within by breaking the rules and giving yourself permission to experience spontaneous fun. People often feel the need to be busy all the time, thinking that having fun is a waste of time and money. They do not realize that sometimes, while having fun, more creative ideas pop up. If you bring fun and joy into more areas of your life, you will make a lot more progress. Do not allow your happiness to depend on anything or anyone. We don't need anything else outside ourselves to experience joy. We have the joy and fun inside us, we just need to learn to generate it and radiate it. In this episode, you will learn the importance of allowing yourself to experience spontaneous fun and incorporating fun into more areas of your life. __________ Hungry for more?

How To Get A Temperature Check
