Being willing to embrace the discomfort of change and confront the resistance that's holding you back, is one of the hardest things to do, but it's also completely transformative.

Fixing your relationships issues doesn't start with what you do, it starts with how you think. It begins with your willingness to challenge yourself, to step outside your comfort zone, and to do the very thing you've convinced yourself you can't.

Real growth in relationships comes when your motivation is love, not just the fear or avoidance of loss. What are you actively doing to ensure this relationship not only survives, but satisfies and uplifts both of you?

What does wanting your relationship to work look like in your daily actions? Are you creating space for honest communication, addressing your partner's needs, and confronting your own resistance? Or is your effort rooted in the fear of being alone rather than the desire for a healthy relationship?

Do you truly want your relationship to thrive, or are you holding onto it out of fear? Wanting your relationship to work isn't just a feeling, it's a commitment to act. It's about showing up, making changes, and prioritizing what's best for BOTH you and your partner.

One-sided relationships are rare. Both partners are gaining something from it. Exceptions do exist but for most of us, no matter how painful our relationship may feel, we are always gaining something. So, if you hate your relationship, ask yourself, what exactly are you gaining from being in it?

Did you know that over 70% of relationship conflicts never get resolved because of personality differences and NOT a lack of care or love? Using a tool like The Enneagram of Personality to better understand your partner, but most importantly yourself, is life altering. It saved our marriage!

When dating, instead of evaluating the man or chasing excitement, check in with your body. How do you feel in his presence? If you feel calm, comfortable, relaxed & at peace, this is often your body signaling, "This person may be good for us." Give him a few more dates or date em til you hate em!

Time for me to get better acquitted with this app. I'll be sharing some info that could hopefully provide you some value in improving your relationships. Most of the time we want the same as our partners. It's our personality differences that get in the way. I'm here to help. Follow for more!

'He's boring'
When chaos or emotional highs have been the norm, the calm stability of a healthy connection can feel unfamiliar or dull. Boredom is often your nervous system feeling safe/peace vs being accustomed to living in survival mode. Stability can be boring, but essential for healthy bonds.

When dating we can often make the mistake of searching for chemistry. Issue is, chemistry often comes from familiarity rooted in unresolved childhood pain. Unconsciously we recognize these patterns, leading to feeling intense chemistry with someone only to later realize they remind us of our past.

This is part of what 'relationships take work' means. Becoming aware when we're viewing our partners in black & white terms is crucial for relationship success. Idealization can lead to let downs & obviously devaluing borders on abusive. Learning to differentiate is hard, but it's essential to learn

1. Shared values. Trying to change someone else's values is almost impossible.
2. Shared intimacy. Being aligned on what intimacy is and looks like.
3. Sense of humor. Someone that gets you
4. Life goals. This helps the couple to more intuitively support each other's goals.

Unmet childhood needs often lead us to expect our partners to make up for what our caregivers didn't give us. Our partners can offer us compassion, but they cannot undo our painful past. Our partners are there to support & encourage us while we're on own healing journey.
