Recognize, Resolve, Reset: Your Roadmap to Relationship Harmony

I was just listening to my own podcast from last week. 

It's my story from 5 years ago, and you know what sticks out? 

When we start a journey, it takes us longer to get there than we think, we work harder than we ever thought we would, and we don't know what we don't know... till suddenly one day... we know it.  

Let's think about that.  You might relate this to college, a new business, buying a house, raising kids, or figuring out HOW to get along with your spouse.  

There are simple disagreements... and then there are downright fights.  Might be money issues, integrity issues, or one sees the glass 1/2 FULL and other sees the glass 1/2 Empty.  What do you do?

Well, the 1st thing is Recognizing that there is a problem.  Too often we have Turtle syndrome, and we hide our head or we brush it off, choosing to forget it and hope it will go away, but too often it doesn't.  Small issues turn into giant issues and the river of frustration and hurt become daily.

Next is the job of Resolving the issue.  That means you've got to dig a little, because the problem you're having is most likely about something else.  Could be you were raised differently, have different preferences on how to spend money, who's responsible for what, or you have clashing personalities.  

I have a handful of Tools that each make a big difference.  Some are simple, while others take some practice.  One important tip for all of us is Self-Care... I have a podcast coming up on that because we all react in some way negatively when we are overwhelmed, exhausted, or not taking care of ourselves physically.

You'll find many useful topics on "The Extraordinary Marriage" Podcast.

Your STORY is what is important, but if you'd like to hear mine... Listen Here.

Lastly, once you've uncovered the culprit... what's disrupting your love life and your home, you can Reset your relationship.  Wouldn't that be great?

Stick with me.  Rediscover what you love about your spouse.
