Love is Your Superpower

Hi and welcome to The Couples Expert Podcast with your host Stuart Fensterheim. This is episode 159 of our show. This week’s topic is the Power of Love.  Do happy endings happen?  Is there such a thing as happily ever after? It can sound a bit trite, but as Stuart will discuss, love is one of the most powerful forces in our lives. When we’re in the right place emotionally and in the right relationship with our partner, that love can be unstoppable!

Listen in as Stuart shares about real experiences that show that true love can win just like in the storybooks.

What you’ll learn from today’s podcast:

You can have it all together but you both have to want it and work for it 1:02 The emotional bond you have together gives you as a couple the confidence to conquer anything life throws your way 2:39 The connection between you is what’s important  3:46 The story of Stuart’s personal crisis and triumph 5:15 Why some couples pull apart and others pull together 6:49 It’s the little things you say and do every day cementing your bond 8:15 It’s not always easy to obtain, you have to put in the work it takes 11:20

You and your partner need to understand each other’s communication style and emotional needs. You know when they’re triggered and what they need from you when that happens. It’s not automatic. You both need to work on this daily to show each other in the small ways who important and valued you are. You both are authentic, vulnerable and raw together. When it really counts, when things are bad, that’s when the rubber meets the road and you can show that you HAVE done the work. You will be there for each other, team up and meet any crisis or struggle as a united partnership. Crisis doesn’t have to pull you apart. When you’ve cemented your bond together and you feel secure, a crisis can make you even stronger on the other side.

You need to talk about everything, never give a cold shoulder or a silent treatment. Find out where you and your partner need work and start today by showing appreciation, respect. Dedicate yourself to strengthening your connection. Have date nights and adventures together. Spend time together and share activities that you enjoy. Don’t turn down opportunities to spend time sharing experiences that will strengthen your bond. Explore ways that you can know each other better and learn more about how to connect on a deeper level. Find out what your partner needs to feel loved and more important in your life. Do those things.  Take the first step now, today. Make your relationship a priority today. Make that important commitment to yourself and to your partner today.

 

Thank you for joining us today!
