010 – Where did the Romance go?

We share an emotional conversation we had wrestling with the question, “Where did the romance go?”

Highlights of this episode include:

      • Carolann shares why she married Jon (and it made him lose his breath).
      • We asked each other 2 dangerous questions.
      • Carolann shared how she felt like an emotional kaleidoscope.
      • There is a difference between
        “There doesn’t look like there is an answer” and
        “I can’t see the answer.”
      • There were 3 things that Jon said that brought Carolann’s smile back.
      • We discuss how this episode is an example of our principle #5.

Talk, Hold and Cry

    • It’s important for both to share, it’s not a one way conversation.
    • Share your feelings and needs.
    • Capture your thoughts; think before you speak.
    • Find the deeper issue(s) that are at the root of your feelings and needs.

008 – Being Irritated

This morning I was really irritated and grumpy with Carolann. In this episode we share how the morning went and how within 10 minutes my grumpiness melted away.

In our discussion we reference the book “Love and Respect” by Emerson Eggerichs. It’s available on Amazon (not an affiliate link).
