Hello, Nation! I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Wyatt Fisher, a licensed psychologist and marriage counselor. In this episode, we discussed a powerful tool for couples called the "Bullseye Question," which can help couples communicate effectively and strengthen their relationship. The Bullseye Question involves setting aside five minutes each day to give and receive constructive feedback from your partner. This allows couples to communicate openly and honestly about what's working and what's not in their relationship, without feeling defensive or attacked. Dr. Fisher explains that the key to making the Bullseye Question work is to approach it with a mindset of growth and self-improvement, rather than criticism or blame. By asking each other "what could I have done better today?" couples can create a safe space for feedback that is focused on growth and improvement. We also discuss its benefits, including how it can help couples develop stronger communication skills, build trust and intimacy, and ultimately create a more fulfilling and satisfying relationship. If you're looking to strengthen your marriage and improve your communication with your spouse, I highly recommend listening to this episode. There is a wealth of knowledge and practical tips you can start using today to improve your relationship. Learn more here - https://www.drwyattfisher.com/ On the Extended Version ...
