My BEST Advice for Engaged and Newlyweds
Manage episode 486639262 series 2087733
After an incredibly busy May filled with family celebrations including our 23rd wedding anniversary, my son's wedding, my daughter's high school graduation, and a week-long houseboat trip to Lake Powell, I'm reflecting on valuable relationship lessons that emerged during this special time.
• Shared a powerful relationship skill called the "I notice" technique that creates open communication without triggering defensiveness
• Explained how to properly use this approach by describing only what a security camera would see, not interpretations or judgments
• Reflected on early marriage challenges and how different schedules and communication styles created difficulties
• Advocated for premarital or newlywed counseling even when relationships seem perfect
• Discussed the benefits of establishing a relationship with a therapist before problems arise
• Offered insight into how Relational Life Therapy helps identify relationship patterns and triggering mechanisms
• Emphasized the importance of learning repair techniques and effective communication skills early
For a limited time, I'm offering engaged and newlywed couples a special package of three coaching sessions for the price of one. This can be purchased as a gift for couples you know or for your own relationship.
