This episode is one of the -- if not THE-- #1 most essential episode of this podcast, if you want to have a loving, connected lasting marriage. SO important I'm updating and re-publishing it so you can listen again--or for the first time.

Most of us limit ourselves (unconsciously, of course!) from feeling as much love as we could in our marriages. We therefore not only miss out on all the love available, but we also miss out on the benefits it brings to our marriages, and to our own selves–of which there are SO many, especially for you as a highly sensitive person.

Now, you may want to feel more love, but you may also feel like it’s not really up to you. That how much love you feel is contingent on how loving your spouse is. You may tend to only experience feeling love when it’s easy to do so, and not so much when your husband does things that make it hard to love.

Today, my friend, we begin to change all of this. Because love is always available to you, and you can even love what is hard to love (only if you want to, of course!). But it is a skill you may need to learn, so it can become habit–or simply natural to you.

When you make a habit of loving without conditions, only good can come of it.

Listen in to this episode to find out what I mean, how it can bring out the gift of your sensitivity, and how you can be empowered to have so much more love in your marriage and life–no matter what your husband is or isn’t doing– by no longer withholding love unconsciously, and instead making unrestricted love a regular and deeply nurturing part of your life.

183 This episode is for everyone in an intimate relationship —especially if reactivity is ever an issue, or if you ever find yourself in sticky, difficult, or heated interactions with your spouse– or you just want to communicate and relate even better!

You will learn one of the most essential skills you can develop to make your relationship strong and loving: The Pause.

Being able to pause is immensely powerful when it comes to communication and navigating conflict is a graceful way– and even avoiding conflict and reactivity altogether. I would go so far as to say being able to Pause, in the way I describe in this episode, is a sacred skill.

It gives you the ability to respond skillfully, instead of reacting in a way that makes things worse.

But, as simple as the idea of pausing is, it is HARD to actually do. This episode will change that!

So listen in to hear:

• What the pause actually is,
• Why it’s so key to success in love
• Why it is so hard to do (without the key I will teach you)
• They 1 major key to being able to successfully do it
• And the practical and simple practice that will make you a pro at the Pause in a matter of weeks

Once you’ve tuned in and done as I suggest in this episode, you will be so much further ahead of most people in your ability to respond to your spouse, no matter the situation, in a way that invites peace, understanding, connection, and even collaboration, and you’ll be well positioned to preserve and deepen the integrity and strength of your relationship for the long haul.

182 The ESSENCE of what it takes to have a good – even GREAT – marriage is not complex – it's actually very simple.

In this episode, I boil down EVERYTHING I teach my clients to do–and everything I have done to make my marriage the amazing loving thriving one it is– into the 3 things you must do to have the same. Just 3!

Because I want you to see how simple it really is.

That said, DOING them may not be “easy” without learning some basic things. Which is why, in this episode, I also point you to resources that help you learn how to DO these in easy, digestible, do-able steps.

Tune in to learn:

• The 3 simple things you must be able to do to have a great marriage–the WHAT you need to do to make your marriage loving, supportive, affectionate and fun
• How to determine which of the 3 areas YOU personally would benefit most from focusing on first
• A deeper overview of the 3 things, what happens when you aren't good at them, and why they are so key to a great marriage.
• HOW to learn each of these 3 things (what will make doing the 3 things so much easier) beyond this podcast, so you can reap the huge rewards of your marriage becoming the way more loving, connected, light-hearted one you want it to be.

Listen in. You will come away with a clarity that has likely been missing up until now, and a clear direction to move in to make your marriage better, and better… and better!
