Nurture Your Relationship

Connect

Feeling connected is one of the primary reasons we enter into relationship. Trust, respect and safety are often more important than love and attraction for sustained relationship. It is possible to develop or redevelop the ability to connect through exploring values, identifying needs, and prioritizing time for self and your relationship.

Communicate

Learning or relearning to listen deeply is often the first step in rebuilding relationship. Being open to hearing what the other person has to say without defensiveness  creates safety. Cultivating the genuine desire to understand the needs, fears, and dreams of your partner can create an atmosphere of shared best interest and common ground in your relationship.
