Your Feelings Matter to You and Your Marriage

Yes, feelings are messy. They can be uncomfortable. But they are necessary for your survival and the health of your relationships. More than likely your feeling love for your partner is why you got married in the first place. You probably have some concern for your and their happiness—also a feeling. But, in order to feel happiness, you have to be willing to feel some of the harder emotions like hurt, disappointment, and frustration. You can’t selectively shut down feelings. It’s feel them all or feel none of them. Writer, coach, and facilitator Pieter Van Winkle provides a step-by-step way to get started.



If you want to get better at handling both your and your partner’s emotions, Lesli can help.
