Your partner's anger overwhelms you and you don't know how to deal with it
You want to feel connected again but just don’t understand how you got this far apart.
You still love your partner but you don’t know how to regain that feeling of being close.

KEYS to Staying In LOVE
- Key number one: Commit to owning responsibility
for the quality of your connection. To maintain that magical feeling of
love and special-ness in a relationship we have to be willing to take
150% ownership of the quality of the connection in our relationships.
- Key number two: Stop blaming your partner for what is not working. You are as much of the problem as they are; no matter how it may look to you at the moment.
- Key number three: No matter how angry and hurt you are; remember that this person is not your enemy.
In the middle of a conflict it sure can feel that way. It can seem that
they are attacking you and you are the victim. Instead, breathe
deeply. Start thinking about what you love about this person, and what
you are grateful for about them.
These simple keys can work for you too.
I know, because they've worked for hundreds of people in situations just like yours!
In spite of how it feels your situation is not hopeless or unique.
You can take advantage of my over 20 years experience helping people just like you.
Why “Learning to Communicate” Doesn’t Work And What To Do Instead…
Communication is not really the problem. We can’t NOT communicate! We are constantly communicating.
Talking more and more about the things we THINK are the problem does not get at the root of what is going on between you.
One
couple I worked with thought that if they just “communicated better”
about their lack of sex life they would come to an agreement and things
would work out. If only that were true! The problems between partners
are NEVER what it looks like on the surface! Continually talking about “the problem” when that is not REALLY the problem only makes things worse.
Here's How I Can Help You Get and Stay Connected with Your Partner Starting Right Now
When
people are in dire circumstances, like poverty, they keep moving, keep
hoping the next place will be better. This is what happens when our
relationships are in poverty; we give up and move on, hoping it will be
better next time. Sometimes we just give up and don’t even try again.
Ever known people like that?
Developing an emotionally
wealthy relationship requires walking through the minefields. Not all
of us are brave enough to do it, that’s what the divorce rate is so
high.
And, if you don’t know how to do it, who can blame you?
But
once you discover how each trigger contains important, valuable, and
precious pieces of information about your partner that changes
everything. These parts of your partner are the very things that drew
you to them in the first place, but they have been hiding behind layers
of dynamite. Fearing the explosions, you have tiptoed around trying not
to set off the blast only to lose your partner and your love in the
process.
Once you hold the treasure in your hands, providing the safety and nurturing
that part needs to come into the light of day, you’ll discover the fun
of playing with the person you fell in love with so long ago.
That’s the payoff for taking the risk of walking through the minefield
The next step is up to you.
You can have a loving, lasting, deep connection with your partner.
Remember, whatever you do right now you will be making a choice about the quality of relationship – from now on!
