Have you had a time when you attempted to engage with your partner and been unsuccessful? Do you argue or disagree about the same things repeatedly? You’re definitely not alone here!
Use invitations to invite the other person in - it’s not implied both parties are always on the same page. Seek first to understand, then to be understood. Which means listening!
“In order to build healthy relationships, it takes engagement. None of us are mind readers for the other person unless we ask each other.”
Here’s a great exercise - be open to what your partner is saying, have a neutral look and be engaged, yet not say a word during that agreed upon time frame. Then switch! There’s great value there! It’s so important to repair than to put the issue to the side and never deal with it. If we keep hiding it, it’ll eventually come out in a way we probably don’t want it to. Setting aside time to listen is so important in repair.
It’s a continual and consistent process!
