Managing all the complexities of blended family life can be overwhelming around the holidays. You're merging two family cultures with different ideas about how the holiday season should look…

147. Do sensitive conversations end up creating conflict in your relationship?

Saison 2022

mardi 18 octobre 2022 • Durée 40:09

Have you ever felt like you got stuck in a difficult conversation before it even got started?

You know that feeling — like this is going downhill fast and you just don't know how it got so heated and emotionally-charged so fast.

We've experienced this kind of interaction hundreds (maybe thousands) of times over the years! Those are the moments we feel disconnected and divided. And we're left wondering how we'll ever be able to talk about sensitive topics and work through problems.

But almost 12 years ago, Mike kinda stumbled across a communication strategy in a training where he worked. It was a simple little framework for getting a difficult conversation started without kicking off defensiveness and anger.

As we both started learning this framework together, it was amazing how much better our communication became. We were able to learn how to navigate the critical first 30 seconds of a difficult conversation well and after a bit of practice we were able to communicate on a whole new level.

We're sharing that simple little framework today on the podcast because we want you to experience that same transformation in your communication.

The truth is, communication is a skill and we can all get better at it.

You'll Discover:

The 'Hazardous Half Minute' of a conversation that can set you up for disaster OR success
A simple 3-step framework to positively influence communication around sensitive topics and help you work through touchy issues

146. Friendship and Connection or Friction and Distance - What's the state of your relationship?

Saison 2022

mardi 4 octobre 2022 • Durée 54:43

Do you remember that vibrant sense of friendship you had early on in your relationship? It was a strong connection and it created this pull toward each other that was almost irresistible.

But somewhere amid the crazy schedules, complex relationships, and differences of perspective, maybe you feel more like business partners or roommates these days. Or worse yet, battling foes rather than friends.

If you can relate to any of that (or if you want to avoid getting to that point) — this episode is for you!

The truth is, we all need to experience genuine friendship with our partner.

But when the common stress and busy-ness of blended family life hits, it's easy to deprioritize your friendship — or even neglect it altogether.

When that happens, the closeness you once enjoyed begins to wane and you slowly begin feeling disconnected from one another.

But that doesn't have to be you. It's time to get intentional about growing and maintaining your friendship and focus on rekindling genuine connection in your relationship.

In this episode, we'll share how a challenging season in our journey led to an 'easy wrong turn' that unintentionally slid our marriage to the back burner and we ended up losing friendship for a while — it was pretty sad.

We'll also share some specific steps we took to revive our friendship and save our marriage — even when we didn't like each other very much.

You'll Discover:

Why friendship is so important in marriage
The most common 'easy wrong turns' couples make that can dissolve their friendship and their connection
Practical steps you can take to grow and maintain your friendship — or rekindle it
