Couple Coaching

Why do people spend thousands on their wedding, yet invest nothing in their marriage?

To be honest, even I know the answer to that one. We all set off  believing and trusting  that our relationship is wonderful and will last forever without anybody interfering with it. 
That's good, and as it should be, but the chances are that it can be even better. 

How well do you communicate with your partner?
Let's face it, in the vast majority of cases they're of a different gender for starters (are they really from Venus or Mars?) and then there are all the different representational systems we have, then there are different values systems and beliefs, there are literal speakers and inferential speakers, some need stability and some need change ... people even perceive time differently.
It's virtually a miracle that anyone ever understands anyone else!

• Imagine really knowing what makes each other tick.
• Being able to meet your partner inside his or her own version of the world.
• Being able to undertand where and why you need to compromise.
• Understanding exactly what makes them feel loved and secure.
• Even understanding how they choose their shoes and cars.

It's a sad fact that most people only go to relationship councelling when they have a problem and very often when it's too late.  Get the very best out of your relationship right from the beginning, and keep it that way!
