Husband/Wife Relationship – Sober Life Coaching

Husband /Wife relationship

You’ve probably heard of life, business, and health coaching. But have you ever heard of relationship coaching?

Improve Your Relationship

Marriage is the ultimate bond between two partners. You made a vow to love one another for better or for worse, but sometimes things become strained. Perhaps you had a bad fight, you feel yourselves drifting apart, or you may have simply reached a point where you realize you need to improve the relationship. Relationships require work and commitment to keep your love for one another strong, and marriage is no exception. With a little effort, some understanding, and a bit of patience, you and your spouse can improve your marriage and remember why you pledged your love to one another.

Be gentle with your partner

Listen to your spouse

Couples that have been together for a long time often take the things that are said for granted. For example, your spouse might tell you that something you’re doing has been bothering him/her, but you might assume that it’s not a big deal because you’ve been together for so long. However, little things add up, and when your partner feels invalidated or unheard, that can lead to bigger trust and intimacy issues down the line.

Spend quality time

Quality time is time that you reserve unconditionally and completely for your spouse. No matter what happens, you should reserve this time for your spouse. Phone rings? Hang up and shut it off in front of your spouse. Listen to each other, sit together, watch each other. Enjoy each other’s presence and enjoy being together. Do this at least once a week for 30 – 60 minutes.

Be open and honest with each other.

Honesty is tremendously important in a relationship, especially if you’re married. You want to feel that you can trust your spouse, and you want your partner to feel the same way. But honesty and openness extends beyond just telling the truth; it also means not withholding information, and not holding back when there’s something you want to address.

Never lie to your partner. Even a small lie, like saying something doesn’t bother you when it secretly does, can eventually boil over into resentment and arguments.
Open up and let yourself be vulnerable with your partner. Tell your spouse your secret hopes and dreams, your deepest fears, and other things that you keep hidden.
Let your partner open up and be vulnerable with you. This can help build trust and foster a stronger sense of intimacy and affection.

Work on compromising

Compromising can be difficult, especially when emotions are running high after an argument. However, needing to be right for 30 seconds isn’t worth the strain that argument could put on your relationship down the line. It’s normal to disagree or even argue from time to time, but you need to be willing to let go of your side in the name of compromising and collaborating.

Don’t think of arguments as something that need to be “won.” This is dangerous thinking, as it pits you and your spouse against each other.
Let go of things that aren’t worth fighting over. Even if you weren’t in the wrong, it’s not worth the stress and frustration of an argument.
Be willing to cede an argument. Just because you think you’re right, it doesn’t mean arguing your point any further will get you anywhere, so work on dropping it before it escalates.
