Ask Your Partner Better Questions w/ Topaz Adizes EP 79

Feel like your asking the same questions over and over again to your partner?  Does it seem like you already know what you want the answer to be?  Wonder why your conversations often seem to escalate when you ask your burning question?  Is your partner getting a little on the defensive side and maybe feel like their back is against the wall when answering.

It's very possible we're not asking relationship strengthening questions or posing our questions in the right way and here to tell you what you should be asking instead is an author and filmaker, Topaz Adizes, who has spent over a decade exploring human emotion and intimacy through over 1200 crafted conversations.

In this episode, as he gives some reframe examples, you can hear not only how the questions would land differently but how they open up the possibility for some really good conversations.

Here are a few other things we talk about:

the art of asking well-constructed questions to strengthen relationships
insights on maintaining a healthy partnership by creating the right space for communication.
practical advice about avoiding binary questions and ensuring curiosity-driven inquiries
the importance of regular check-ins to prevent conflicts from escalating
