EmPowered Couples with The Freemans

The most important thing in relationships is repairing and resolving conflicts. Because conflicts WILL happen, it’s not about the amount or even having them. Now true repair is not necessarily an easy thing, because of the emotion you both have, the different perspectives you have, and the complex dynamics that happen from making a few mistakes.  These mistakes leave you feeling unresolved, that it’s your fault, blamed, or forced to move on and get past it. In all cases you don’t feel understood or confident that anything will change or keep this from happening again. In this episode you will hear the mistakes that keep you from truly repairing after having arguments, so that you can effectively do the most important thing for your relationship... actually repair from conflicts!   Resources For Your Relationship: Get $50 OFF The Live Couples Workshop which now you can attend from anywhere in the world, to enhance your communication skills together.

Having frustrations and feelings of resentment over your roles and responsibilities is a common thing we hear. One parter is frustrated about not getting help, then the response they get is: “just tell me what you need me to do” OR “I’m happy to help, just tell me what” OR sometimes “it’s your job, you stay at home, I work, so just get it done". This is frustrating for both partners, and triggers defensivness and often a conflict. This is because:  For the partner having to remind: it feels like it’s one person’s responsibility to “own” the housework. It can feel like parenting your partner.  For the partner feeling blindsided: I just don’t see those things, I wish you’d tell me before you get so frustrated, they feel like a lot of emotion comes at them suddenly. In this episode you will hear the main sources of this dynamic and what you can do differently to get back on the same page and feeling supported and loved in the roles and responsibilities you choose.   Resources For Your Relationship: Get $50 OFF The Live Couples Workshop which now you can attend from anywhere in the world, to enhance your communication skills together Order our book, The Argument Hangover, and get over $200 of free bonus gifts (like the mini course and a 90 minute training)

You probably don’t actively think “I have some resentment building up toward my partner”. Resentment is a little like putting small amounts of sand into a backpack over time. You might not notice the weight of the sand in the beginning. Then as time goes on, you might not even notice that the backpack now weighs 50lbs because you’ve gotten used to it over time.  But resentment is a very unhealthy attitude and feeling toward your partner that will lead to a relationship ending if not dealt with. OK, so even if you are not there yet, the underlying feeling of resentment creates a block to intimacy, fulfillment, and making any progress in your relationship. It can feel like you’ve been wronged, a sense of bitterness, or being checked out.  In this episode you will hear about how to better identify the early signs of resentment building as well as the empowering way to release, let go, and be able to create a new future of connection and being a team.   Resources For Your Relationship: UNTIL THE 5 SPOTS ARE GONE...
