Insights:
- Jeff: I hope listeners remember that every interaction with each other is a chance for a fresh start. It’s a chance to improve things between you as a chance to deepen connection is a chance to reconnect to resolve conflicts a chance to apologize every single interaction can be utilized to improve your relations.
- Dave: What does my partner need from me right now. Right now, in this moment, what can I do to relieve stress from their life?
- Liz: The whole idea about distractions affecting attractions. Even Jeff, as you were so kind to talk about, you know, after the passing of your wife and then trying to date again, and how that distraction was really kind of hurtful to your son. And I, I wish more parents would pause and understand that who are either divorce or were also widows widowers to understand that, well, maybe there is a time and a place and the most important thing right now is the well being of that child.
Invites:
- Take notice of how you can help reduce some of your partner’s stress; like doing the
dishes, helping to cook dinner, picking up dinner…. - Be mindful of all the little distractions in your daily life that could be a cause of less
attraction; ie: your children seeing you on your phone may prevent them from coming
up and talking about something they’d like to share with you. - It’s the simple things that help build a stronger marriage, try to do one simple thing
today to show them that you care. Like write a note, make the bed, start the dishwasher…
