EmPowered Couples with The Freemans

Let's be honest, we all have said to our partners one of these statements: "that's not what I said, that's not what actually happened, what you are saying doesn't make sense". Especially for those partners (like Aaron) that are logical left brained people. As soon as this happens the predictable next sequence will be an argument or conflict, or at least not feeling like your partner is on your side. Though this can feel like one of those areas where you and your partner are just different (male vs female or masculine vs feminine differences), the real culprit here is not making the differentiation between what your partner is saying versus what they need. In this episode we cover this big difference between the actual words that you or your partner use and what the missing need or deeper desire really is. You will get questions to ask your partner that lead to more connection and understanding than the typical difference of opinion, recurring conflict, or simple disconnections in your day to day life. This will elevate you and your listening skills in your relationship. Resources For Your Relationship: Give a gift to your relationship that will impact the rest of your year!

Whether you can't wait to end this year or you are just excited to keep the momentum you have going, this is the episode for you. The end of the year just so happens to be a "made up" time that you can truly reset and refocus. For some you don't want the next year to be like this past year. For others, you realize you just want to experience life and your relationship newly. Either way it comes down to a lot more than just setting new goals like most everyone talks about at the end of each year. In this episode you will get the 5 questions you MUST reflect on and ask each other so you can complete this past year, and keep it from impacting your next year. Doing this as a couple is VITAL to not hitting bumps and road blocks a few months in. Once you establish this type of "blank slate" to work from, you will get the 5 ways to create what it is you desire together for the coming year.

It can be a hard thing to admit to yourself, let alone your partner, that you are not feeling the desire for them. This can feel like a very significant, lonely, and discouraging place to be. It can even bring up a feeling of doubt about the relationship as you might think this is a feeling you cannot come back from. Because, what is there to really do as this is just what you feel right? In this episode you will hear the two central causes for this feeling as well as what to do depending on the category you find yourself in. Just by seeing these causes as something that all couples will face at some point in their relationship, you will feel a sense of ease and encouragement that you can move back to a state of connection, desire, passion, and sexual attraction.

How many times have you thought to yourself "should I bring this up to my partner now, or should I just keep it to myself?" It's almost a certainty that you have even more than once because all partners will ask themselves this question at one time or another. The biggest issue here is that if you bring it up it can cause an argument in which you both end up getting upset and can get into an Argument Hangover. On the other side if you don't say anything it can feel like you have to suppress yourself and ultimately end up feeling resentful. So what is the real answer here when it can feel like a lose-lose situation? In this episode we will give you 5 steps to take to be able to answer this question as well as empower both of you to become even better partners to each other.

There usually isn't just one big event that ends a relationship. It's an 'eroding' slowly over time. It's the result of frequent behaviors like chronic defensiveness, small criticisms, and not prioritizing them. We are not even saying that you are necessarily at the place of ending the relationship, and we never want you to be. Hence why we are giving you the 5 behaviors that we see, that you might not notice, that will over time have you be in a place where you say "how did we get here?"

There are particular seasons within a relationship where you will ask yourself "is this the right relationship?". There is nothing wrong with this question at all. You might be trying to decide to propose to your partner, having a tough week or month, or even deciding to stay in the marriage. No matter the place you find yourself, the next real question is "how do I really determine this?" Most people default to their recent mood, attitude, or level of love or happiness now. But this is very conditional and conceptual. In this episode you will get the 4 Key Foundations to accurately measure whether you are in the right relationship and will inspire you when you can solidify each of these 4 keys.

If you haven't said this yourself, you've at least seen these "love" posts go around: "I accept all of you" or "there is nothing you could do for me to stop loving you"! While this is a great sentiment, the majority of people only know what half of this declaration really means. Of course this is a great intent to accept your partner, but there is one major area that, if you are not prepared for, will come as a huge disappointment and upset for you in the future. There are easier areas to accept about your partner because you can see them now, however Emotional Triggers of your partner are aspects that you MUST accept about your partner if you want to face challenges as a team. These individual and unique triggers are not something you see in the beginning, so they can catch you off guard if you are not prepared to accept them too.
