EmPowered Couples with The Freemans

After the last episdoe you now think "ok great, I'm doing my part, but what about my partner"? We asked many of you how your partner normally responds when you hold them accountable, and the answers were versions of: denial, defensiveness, withdrawing, being rude, or dismissive. If you don’t have an agreement about how you will hold each other accountable, it can feel like being micro-managed or controlled. This leads to tension, and even feeling “parented” by each other. So instead of that frustration, tune in to this episode for specific ways to hold yourself and your partner accountable to making real progress. And while you’re listening, sign-up for the 5 Day Couples Challenge that starts April 26th!

Have you realized that you can be in a relationship, yet not be in a true partnership? It might seem like a simple word change but the experience can be radically different. You can be in a relationship yet still feel like a victim to your circumstances and your partner’s responses day to day.  A true partnership is made up of two people who are accountable for how they are showing up. More specifically these 5 specific things that we cover in this episode. In this type of partnership you will feel empowered to create and direct your life and relationship, regardless of the circumstances that show up!   Resources For Your Relationship: Join the 5 Day Couples Challenge that starts April 26th, 2021.

You got into your relationship for one big reason… LOVE. More specifically to have the experience of being loved unconditionally by your partner. Yet this doesn’t always happen right? Especially when a woman's needs are not being met. Now does this mean something is wrong? No not at all. BUT it is a sign that one of 3 major needs of women are not being met. This is not to put pressure on you as a partner, because at times these needs are not clearly understood and can be shared in a way that causes defensiveness. So what to do? Well, listen to this podcast episode where you will hear what the 3 needs are of women that are misunderstood. Then once you know these needs, you can have the conversations needed for your partner to truly feel loved.    Resources For Your Relationship: Make sure to save your seats for The Couples Workshop on April 11th.   About Us: We’re The Freemans, your go-to couple for authentic and actionable relationship advice.

Complacency is that feeling of low energy and lack of engagement in a relationship. Do you or your partner ever have that sense in your marriage? This one will be a bit of a “gut check” for how you’ve been showing up for each other. Complacency can lead to feeling like "roommates" or just a general lack of aliveness and joy within the relationship. If complacency becomes the norm in your relationship, it can degrade your happiness. But realizing this is happening is what allows you to improve it. In this episode you will get 3 signs of complacency, then you’ll be encouraged by 3 easy ways to keep things vibrant and alive, even as the years pass.   Resources For Your Relationship: Save your seats for the next Couples Workshop here.
