Not sure if it’s possible for you?
Here’s what clients are saying:

“We’re doing things we used to do when we were dating.”

“We compliment each other daily (several times throughout the day).”

“We laugh so much more than we have in awhile, like we used to when we were dating or first married.”

Look, I know what evenings look like at your house.

Dinner is done, dishes are cleaned up. It’s time to settle down and relax for the night. So, what happens?

Either:

1 | You go to your separate spots in the house to watch different TV shows.

2 | You sit on opposite ends of the couch watching the same TV show (both scrolling on your phones).

You’re in the same place, but you feel miles apart.

There’s no conversation, no cuddling, and you have no idea what the other person is thinking.

Frankly, it’s unsettling.

How can you be this disconnected from someone you love?

You’ve been feeling like roommates lately. Sometimes, friends.

You manage the household, talk about logistics, and get things done - but, there’s no fun. (Maybe there’s some fun with the kids, but not just for you two).

There’s certainly no passion. The thought of reaching out to grab your partner’s hand or lay your head on their shoulder crosses your mind, but acting on it feels awkward.

What if they reject me?

What if they’re not interested?

What if it doesn’t feel comfortable anymore?

So, you don’t reach out.

You stay stuck.

You sit in your spot and lose yourself in TV, social media, or drama with your friends.

And, nothing changes.

These are the exact scenes I’ve heard from countless clients. And their circumstances changed quickly through our work. I’ve taken the entire process I walk them through to foster more friendship, emotional intimacy, and physical affection and created the Feel Closer to Your Partner in 7 Days Coaching Program.

You CAN have it another way.

You can feel closer and more connected than you have in a LONG time.

You can feel loved and like a priority.

You can have fun together again and laugh, hard.

You can share things with your partner and enjoy light together.

You can feel relaxed and count on a sense of peace and comfort when you come together at the end of the day.

It’s all there for you.

This is a no-brainer because:

You’ll have access to the program content for life.
You’re going to learn the exact steps to take to reconnect with your partner (in 20 mins a day or less).
It’s just $147.

If you’re so ready to put the challenges of today in the past and create the closeness and connection you desire, join us!

Why Anger is Our Preferred Emotion

We have to know what we’re feeling before we can share it with our partner.

When I meet with couples and teach them the communication framework, it becomes apparent that labeling their feelings is something new.

They often jump to - “angry,” “frustrated,” or “fine.”

It can be hard to go deeper and tune in to the feelings that are simmering beneath the surface. These are the more vulnerable emotions that are uncomfortable to sit with, like lonely, unimportant, not thought of, not cared for, or judged. Many of us are skilled at jumping from discomfort to anger, where we can focus on something or someone outside of ourselves and project all our hurt there.

What Happens When I Yell at My Husband

Last weekend, I yelled at my husband.

It was one of those moments that was so incredibly small, but a few years ago would have gone nuclear.

We were unpacking the car and he went to open the trunk, but it wouldn’t open. I could hear the mechanism unlocking over and over again, but the trunk was stuck. Now, my husband has a tendency to break things. Which I suppose sounds critical, so let me say… I wish my husband would be a bit more gentle with things.

I was annoyed, got out of the car, and snapped at him.

“What did you do to it?!”

5 Ways to Communicate Better By Listening

You know what couples tend to be really bad at?

Listening.

Like, truly listening.

It’s one of the most powerful lessons we need to learn if we’re going to be in a safe, emotionally supportive relationship. It’s also a powerful lesson to learn as we work to dismantle systemic racism in the U.S.

Let’s talk about what being a better listener looks like:

You’re open-minded, not defensive. You are willing to listen with a blank slate in your mind. You have no preconceived notion of what the other person is going to say. You’re not becoming preemptively defensive and building a case for why your perspective is right, theirs is wrong, or picking apart each point they present as they speak. You’ve dropped fully into your role as a listener and feel no need to guard your own beliefs.

In Lieu of This Week’s Post

Out of respect for the untimely death of George Floyd and many others who have been victims of institutional racism, as well as those suffering from racially-motivated aggression and injustice, I will not be sharing any new content this week.

The atmosphere is heavy and emotions are running high. This is not the time to turn away from the feelings you are experiencing. I encourage my non-Black readers to use this time to reflect, learn, and support Black people in your community, as I am.

I want to use this platform to amplify the voices of Black thought leaders and share resources to deepen your understanding and provide clear actions you can take to help elevate Black people and People of Color in your community. Please see below for Instagram accounts, books, and podcasts to start with.

It's not about how it should be, it's about how it feels.

If there’s something happening in your relationship that doesn’t feel good, like:⠀
⠀
💔 You’re communicated with in a way that’s not comfortable.⠀
💔 The division of labor feels off.⠀
💔 You don’t have enough quality time together.⠀
💔 You don’t feel connected or close to one another.⠀
💔 You experience your partner yelling at you or using harsh tones.⠀
💔 You don’t feel heard or understood when you share your perspective.⠀
💔 You feel dismissed or rejected when you reach out.⠀
⠀
You don’t need to build a case for why your partner is wrong for doing these things.⠀
⠀
You feeling hurt by it is enough.

Are You Microrejecting Your Partner?

If you’ve been around for a bit, you’re probably familiar with rituals of connection. These are small, positive interactions you have with your partner on a consistent basis. They build the foundation for good feelings, offering benefit of the doubt, and seeing your partner through rose-colored glasses.

Rituals of connection are powerful.

But, if microrejections are happening, their effectiveness is going to be reduced. The deposits they’re making in the emotional bank account are going to be chipped away.

Microrejections are tiny moments of turning away from one another.

Let's talk about what DOESN'T work

Let’s talk about what doesn’t work.

I’m sure you have already tried everything to feel closer to your partner again.

You’ve tried asking your partner why they don’t want to spend time with you, but they say, “I do,” and nothing ever changes.

You’ve tried waiting for them to make the first move and invite you to watch a show together or join you for a cup of coffee in the morning, but they don’t.

You act angry and withdrawn to show your partner that something is clearly bothering you. You hope they’ll realize and take some action, but nothing happens.

So, You Don't Spend Enough Quality Time Together

This topic is probably primed for philosophical debate.

But, I’d argue it til the end.

Perception is everything in relationships.

Everything.

Not, most things.

Not, really important.

Couples get stuck in cycles of conflict and poor communication when they expect to, regardless of what each partners’ intentions are.

If you expect your partner to be invalidating, you will see them as invalidating. If you expect your partner to get angry when you bring up a concern, you will see them as angry.

Seeing your partner (and being seen by them) through a positive lens is powerful.

I Roll My Eyes When People Talk About “Self-Care”

I’ve had a lot of interesting conversations about self-care lately.

A lot of people are feeling like they don’t have time or it can’t be a priority right now because everything else feels more pressing.

Look, I roll my eyes when I hear “self-care.”

But, I also know if we do nothing to ground and care for our bodies and minds, they will eventually do it for us. We’ll get sick. We’ll get a migraine (hello, me last week). We’ll face exhaustion.

I know multiple people who tested negative for COVID-19, but had aligned symptoms - fatigue, headache, muscle weakness, shortness of breath.

Guess what?

It was unmanaged stress and anxiety.

If we don’t care for our bodies, they will create symptoms so we have to.
