Are you wondering if marriage therapy is worth your time, money and effort? Have you thought that perhaps your relationship is too far gone so it won’t work?
If you are the slightest bit interested and willing and you know regret is a terrible thing, then this podcast is for you.
I’ve recognised working with hundreds of couples that this is very common and taking time to understand your own feelings and the relationship is a critical step in ascertaining if therapy is for you.
Recognising you may have a stigma, scepticism, and a lack of trust in the whole process. Having a realistic and open view to therapy can be very helpful and cheaper than a divorce.
🌟Do you have a fear of being vulnerable and the idea of sharing feelings and thoughts is uncomfortable?
🌟Are you a couple that are denying the extent of your problems believing they will resolve themselves?
🌟Do you have a fear of change? Therapy can create change which can be intimidating and scary.
In this podcast you’ll identify your top 3 steps to approach marriage therapy with sensitivity, respect, and open communication.

Are you always running to your partner for help?
If a text or call doesn’t come in, you worry and you think something is wrong.
If you answered yes, you could perhaps be the pursuer.
The pursuer will frequently seek togetherness, quality time, attention, and affection from their partner. However, the distancer responds to this by withdrawing and seeking space which leaves the pursuer in an anxious, sometimes desperate, state.
A problem occurs only when a pattern of pursuing and distancing becomes fixed. When this happens, the behaviour of each partner provokes and maintains the behaviour of the other."
Learn 6 ways how to unhook the pursuer and distancer dance in Marriage.
We all bring our own pasts, emotions, attachment styles, anxieties, and insecurities to a relationship. However, if we can make an effort with ourselves and understand ourselves and our partner and their differences, we can develop happier and more loving relationships.

Do you find yourself easily triggered by your partner’s actions or tone?
Perhaps he or she really did something offensive, or maybe that’s just how you perceived it.
Do you feel disconnected, unsupported, lonely, and unsafe sharing and communicating what you are feeling?
Sometimes, you don’t even understand why you’re upset and it’s not getting easier, it’s getting harder.
Triggers are letting you know you have unhealed wounds that need attention, and these came from your childhood.
Deeper intimate relationships serve a deeper purpose, and they are here to teach you emotional healing and spiritual development. You learn so much more about yourself in a relationship than you could on your own.
Reparenting is needed or otherwise known as inner child work and this is the act of giving yourself what you didn’t receive as a child. (Not looking at your partner to give this to you) Learn what the 5 Steps to Begin Reparenting are.

I watch firsthand the breakdown of relationships as couples stop planning together, and communicating together and in time it’s too far to come back from.
If you’ve lost your spark and are feeling disconnected and frustrated about the state of your relationship, but want to avoid separation and/or divorce, then opening up the conversation is crucial.
If you’re wanting more intimacy in your marriage, it’s important to have shared goals. When you share goals, you agree on the most important things that you want for each other and for your marriage as a team. This creates emotional intimacy which leads to physical intimacy. Having effective communication and knowing how to resolve conflict will support you in creating shared goals.
10 types/areas of shared goals to help your marriage get stronger, work together is essential. These will help you talk about issues that are important to you both and open up opportunities for dreaming about your future together which brings in closeness and connection.

Let’s take the rose-coloured glasses off and talk about sex and the intimacy needed for sexual intimacy which combines the physical act of sex with emotional closeness and trust.
What you want and what is reality can be very different and the myths you tell yourself to keep you looping in your head (your drama cycle) like:
My partner should know what I want My partner should know how I feel Sex should be spontaneous Men want sex all the time Women don't like sexMyths can create a lot of pain and a breakdown of communication in your relationship. This episode gives you a Place to Start.
Become Curious which leads to Conversations which leads to Connection which leads to Closeness.
A powerful exercise involving the Ideal World and the Actual World, the good-enough world.
I have seen couples take their relationship from little sex and disconnect to a close, strong, loving, intimate relationship with regular sex. Intimacy is very closely linked to sex and if you want more sex there needs to be more conversations and communication that create intimacy.
At the end of the day, getting the sex life and intimacy you want in your relationship is up to you.

You may be in a relationship where you’re like 2 boats passing in the night, or two housemates with little emotional and intimate connection and the communication has broken down.
Perhaps you are lonely and not sure where to begin to bring your relationship back to life.
You didn’t wake up one day and just decide, "I’m not that into my partner anymore".
You want to ignite the spark and feel a closer connection again.
Communication is vital for a relationship. Blaming, attacking, criticizing, and accusing is aggressive communication and sadly very common.
All couples have differences and disagreements. Happy couples do not avoid disagreements
Understanding how your past impacts your present relationship, and how to make it work for you rather than against you is important. This podcast will give you some ideas as to how to improve your relationship with yourself and your partner.

It is so important to remember that you are important in your marriage. You are not less than your partner, and you are not there to serve them. I know it can be easy to get caught up in making sure your partner is happy and comfortable, but you have to make sure that you are happy and comfortable too. It is so important to take care of yourself and to put yourself first sometimes. If you don't, you will end up resentful and unhappy.
Make sure that you schedule some time for yourself, even if it's just a half hour every day to do something that you enjoy. It doesn't have to be anything big or expensive, just something that makes you happy. Taking care of yourself is not selfish, it's necessary. If you're happy and healthy, you will be able to be a better wife and a better partner overall. So don't forget to put yourself first sometimes, it's important for your marriage!
One of the most important things to understand in marriage is what your needs are. Everyone is different, so it's vital to spend time getting to know yourself and your own needs. Only then can you start to communicate these needs to your partner. It's important to remember that needs can change over time, so it's an ongoing process.
If you take the time to understand your needs, you will be in a much better position to create a happy and fulfilling marriage. Don't be afraid to talk about your needs with your partner - communication is key!

Pillar Five: Growing Self-AcceptanceGrowing self-acceptance is not easy. You may believe you accept yourself but, in your heart and mind, you judge, criticize, blame, second-guess everything you do and every decision you make. You can be tempted to avoid noticing these internal self-rejecting messages by binge-watching TV, overeating snacks, shopping, overworking, drinking or doing drugs too much. And you are not alone…most people are doing this, daily. It becomes a habit we do not notice. Learn to truly accept and love yourself despite your perceived shortcomings. Transform how you think of yourself moment-to-moment, so you are living from an empowered place in all your relationships.
