How to Achieve Relationship Success?

  1. Quality interactions - short term
  2. Combined dreams - long term

Quality Interactions:

For any relationship to be successful, you have to experience quality interactions that will draw you closer together and create lasting memories that you share.

Last month we spoke about what we want more of in a relationship. Here’s the link if you missed it: create-relationship-you-want

The thing is, your partner also has their own desires for your relationship together.

Here’s where the ‘how-to’ of a successful relationship comes in:

A) Both partners write a list of 5 achievable date ideas for your relationship that will drive it to success.

B) Swap lists and write a short list of your partners choices that you’d like to pursue.

C) From each of your short lists, pick a starting point.

Don’t over complicate things. Baby steps towards your relationship success will ensure sustainable practice in the long-run.

Combined Dreams:

Now that you both have an idea of what you each want individually from your relationship, it’s time to figure out what combined dreams you both have for your relationship success.

• Do you both have the same holiday plans? 
• Do you share similar hobby interests? 
• Are you working towards an exciting project together?
- Renovations, garden layout, DIY construction {car, furniture, gazebo}, mega puzzles.

Having long-term combined goals gives you something to plan and look forward to, together, ensuring greater relationship success through the combined enjoyment of shared achievements.

The Kind of Life You Want

Redefining Love and Marriage https://unsplash.com/@jennymarvin Committing to a life-long marriage through difficult times takes a lot of courage. I had to define for myself the kind of life I wanted. Was I willing to forgo some of my identity to take on the characteristics of a partner who, just 30 years ago, was a complete stranger to me? Had I really got to know him at all? In this life that we share, how deeply had we truly got to know each other? Not so deeply at all, I was to learn. In spite of the many epiphanies through our year-long travel escapade, what we did on a daily basis in the humdrum of a nine to five lifestyle eroded the  lessons learnt and the coping mechanisms we had adopted. Outwardly we have a wonderfully marvelous life, yet our invisible introspection, unseen by those around us, slowly dims the light in both of our eyes. Old habits took over as we forgot to create special moments together. Our lives became mechanical. Learning to redefine the meaning of love

Date Night Arguments and How to Prevent Them It’s Date Night. Finally! The stars have aligned with your schedules, the sitter, the kids’ activities.  You can finally spend some quality time with your spouse away from the house. https://unsplash.com/@claybanks It’s been ages since you spent any "alone time" together.  You've missed your partner.  In fact, you have longed for uninterrupted time when you can connect and feel close.  Time when there is time and space to feel like you did at the beginning of the relationship. Time together is what inspired the other parts of your joint life.  You know that you need relaxed and enjoyable time together or you will lose the spark.  You already feel too much like ships passing in the night.  You need to break free from feeling like roommates. You’ve been imagining the date all week.  You’ve pictured having fun, connecting, and being affectionate.  You are looking forward to being able to relax and focus on one another. It’s what y

There's Always a Solution I said this to a friend the other day who was struggling with tech stuff. She was so grateful for the boost that  she persevered for an entire week , but she did it!  So let’s just expand on the notion here, that ' there's always a solution.' Elora Canne - Memoir Writer I'm delighted to share my conversation with you, from the Living Big Mindfully podcast where host, Kate Champion, and I discussed many later-in-life relationship topics.  But I'm particularly interested in sharing with you, the notion that there is indeed always a solution .  Not only in everyday life situations, as told above, but also in those deeper, more difficult to navigate situations as you'll discover on the podcast. There is always a way around a hurdle,  even if you can't jump over it. To listen in on our conversation, insights and solutions, tap this link:  Living Big Mindfully Podcast Book News: 🫂 Allow me to focus, just for a minute, on those solut
