Did you know that a lot of
marital challenges can stem from
unresolved childhood issues?
Understanding and addressing these can lead to more harmonious relationships.
Here are five common challenges couples face when childhood trauma is at play:
Communication Barriers - Unexpressed emotions and defense mechanisms from the past can hinder open dialogue.
Trust Issues - Past trauma may contribute to difficulty in trusting your partner, impacting intimacy.
Parenting Conflicts - Differing parenting styles, shaped by childhood experiences, can lead to friction.
Fear of Abandonment or Rejection - These fears can lead to dependency or pushing partners away.
Difficulty in Expressing Needs - Childhood wounds might make it hard to voice desires, leading to unmet expectations.
By having conversations that uncover
and address these issues,
you can overcome marital trouble spots
and enhance your relationship.
Don't let childhood trauma reck your marriage!
Figuring it out!
Disposition, Values, and Experiences = Communication Style
We all communicate differently!
Are you finding it hard to connect
with your spouse?
Do you often feel misunderstood,
frustrated, or isolated?
You're not alone.
Many couples struggle
with communication issues
every day, leading to . . .
- Frustration: Constant misunderstandings can build up frustration and resentment.
- Wrong Assumptions: Misinterpreting intentions and actions can lead to wrong conclusions.
- High Emotions and Tempers: Frequent conflicts can escalate emotions, resulting in heated arguments.
- Hurt Feelings: Words and actions, when misunderstood, can deeply hurt your partner.
- Isolation: Feeling misunderstood can make both partners feel emotionally distant and isolated.

After more than four decades of marriage...
and a family full of kids, grandkids, laughter and tears - I know what it's like to struggle with the stress and frustration that can come along with loving people.
Too often couples get caught up in the everyday worries, losing sight of their original love connection as they become bogged down by disagreements over money, children, or the inability to see anything except their own side of things.
Your life experiences and unique personalities will bring you together or drive a wedge between you, but they don't have to.
Sometimes a few small adjustments are all it takes to get back on track and reignite the enthusiasm for life and each other.
Through education, study, and my own experience rooted in faith... which teaches me there is something good within all people - I help guide you back towards your partner, to rekindle that spark once shared between you! Even one spouse, educated and enlightened, will make a difference by uncovering the root causes of adversity and ways to resolve them.
Whether you are engaged, married, or even still searching for answers after a divorce, you'll find proven strategies & methods here through private coaching & or my signature OnDemand program "Communication Secrets for an Extraordinary Marriage", where you'll breakthrough the barriers that are holding your marriage captive and rebuild what you once had.
