Improve Your Relationships and Marriage

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_accordion style=”accordion”][vc_accordion_tab title=”Relationship Tools”][vc_column_text]Even when both people want to do everything they can to have a good relationship, feelings still get bruised.

Often the way you say something can be more harmful than what you say.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Clarifying Your Feelings”][vc_column_text]Statements that begin with “I” are clear. Statements that begin with “You” are either criticisms or riddles. Most people would rather help you with a demanding request than try to solve the riddle of why you are angry or what you want.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Relationship Clues and Cures”][vc_column_text]

When both people in a relationship value each other, it is often easier to fix a problem than most people realize.You can make up your mind not to be at odds with anyone, and to use your best efforts to defuse any bad feelings that seem to arise.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Fixing, Resisting and Controlling”][vc_column_text]You can always get your way by letting the other person’s way become your way.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”The Secret to Fixing Others”][vc_column_text]

Almost everything we say or do can be received by another as the opposite of what was intended. Take the time you need to learn the mental state and thinking of the person you plan to fix before you blurt out your ideas.

The qualities and skills we don’t have and can’t get are like “Bubbles.” There is nothing there.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Reducing Conflict”][vc_column_text]What is causing the distance between me and him or her?

How can I get the closeness back?

Can I give up my need to win arguments?[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Making Your Point”][vc_column_text]

Your willingness to work through the issues with the person you are trying to convince may be more persuasive than the arguments you present.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Peace Process”][vc_column_text]“Conflict in close relationships is not only inevitable, it’s essential. Intimacy connects people who are inevitably different.”

—Martha Beck at MarthaBeck.com[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Dwindling Romance: Hal and Sally”][vc_column_text]

Hal and Sally had what appeared to be a good marriage, great kids, friends, security, and adventure. But because they chose their explanations poorly, they missed a lot of pleasure they could have had.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Refreshing Your Relationship”][vc_column_text]

Affection was Sally’s trump card, but she held it back. Maybe she thought she would use it once she fixed Hal; maybe she was on autopilot or had no affection to give.
