💑 Make Your Relationship TOP PRIORITY!

On a Friday night we were getting ready for a visit with close friends. We finished up a family dinner and left the house all dressed up, smiling and expecting an enjoyable evening. We really love these friends and knew there would be others, who're fun to be with.

We had about an hour drive and our navigation system failing didn't help!

A conversation unfolded on a deeply emotional topic. We had different opinions and extremely contrasting positions. The more we tried understanding each other, touching sensitive places, the deeper and more challenging it became. It turned into an argument and the atmosphere in the car became heavy and loaded.

We're never scared of such occurrences; differences of opinion are the natural share of every couple. We would never expect a relationship without arguments - that would be an extinguished one!

Yet, the journey was long and no solution was in sight. We were both in crappy moods and even considered calling our friends to cancel, though we were close. Then, in the heat of it all, I took a wrong turn, adding another half hour!
At a certain point we realized we wouldn't solve this before arriving. We made an effort to crawl out of our emotional snail shells. We stopped at a gas station, got drinks, cooled down and reconnected from a good, loving place. We arrived shortly after.

We enjoyed a special, magical evening with people we really love who're fun to be with. Time flew by at a supersonic speed with all that fun! We nearly didn't notice it was 3am already and we had an early rise the next morning. We hugged and left for home.

On the way back, we re-opened our burning issue, calm and relaxed this time, making an effort to keep things loving. Despite a constructive discussion, we still disagreed and argued again. We came home and parked but, although we had little time left for sleep, we sat in the car talking. Around 5:30am we already deeply understood each other - how we each grasped reality and why we differed. We had less than 4 hours sleep left, but we were so happy to have solved it and went to bed feeling emotionally well!

This is how it works with us. We have a rule - we never go to sleep with an unsolved emotional issue. If there's no choice, we don't hit bed without a spoken agreement to continue our conversation the next day.

Why am I telling you all this?

For me, it's a great example of something I teach all couples I mentor in relationship mastery. This is one of the most foundational teachings.
If you want an empowering, constructive, containing and loving relationship - Make your relationship TOP PRIORITY!!!
When your relationship is top priority, it comes before anything else - before work, friends, hobbies, workout, before a romantic movie on Netflix or a Real-Madrid soccer match.

That doesn't mean there's no room for those activities (and much more). But when you make your relationship top priority - you always ensure your emotional being is whole, shared and harmonious. It precedes everything - even if it means sacrificing a few hours of sleep.

Some might find it extreme, while others see it as trivial.

So here is my recommendation:

Over the next following months, deeply examine your relationship. Try to identify situations where your automatic patterns "drive" you to choose something over nurturing your bond - a meaningful conversation, understanding, mutual support, active listening or intimacy...

Then, act out your choice-making ability and this time, choose differently.

This time, choose to make your relationship the topmost priority!

Take my word for it, I promise - it is worth everything!

If you encounter deep, meaningful challenges and can't solve them, perhaps unable to reach a win/win situation on an important issue, drop me a line.

I can lead you to the right places. I will support you both and guide you through any situation, no matter how challenging. Embark on a transformative journey with me that cultivates profoundly fulfilling connections.

Even the toughest conflicts can be transformed into deeper understanding and intimacy. Don't lose hope! With compassionate support, any couple can create lasting harmony. Let me help illuminate the path. The love you seek is closer than you think.
