Episode 1 – How To Have a Better Marriage
This episode is the foundational core of everything I teach. In working with my private coaching clients, through all kinds of issues, I have found that every relationship needs 3 elements in order to thrive, not just every marriage, every relationship.
As I was thinking about the easiest way for me to teach you this concept and for you to learn and remember it, so you can apply it, I thought about all kinds of shapes and structures and equations and finally found the perfect one, welcome to The Relationship Table. I am so excited to share this with you!
The table is round with the 3 legs so imagine that right now. And imagine the top of the table is the overall decision about what kind of relationship you want to have. I want all of you to have thriving relationships so we will put “I have decided to thrive” on the top of the table.
Then to hold up that decision table top you have 3 legs:
Perspective – how you think about your marriage
Partnership – how you cultivate teamwork in your marriage
Pleasure – how often you experience enjoyment in your relationship
If any one of these 3 legs is shorter than the other, your whole relationship will either feel lopsided or the table will break and fall down completely.
Join me this week on episode one of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast to learn how to make sure your Relationship Table is solid.
