Want More in Your Relationship?
You’ve tried to make things better. You really have. But the things you’ve tried to solve your problems are only temporary fixes at best, and often just make things WORSE.
- Date nights haven’t worked.
- Making requests hasn’t worked.
- Ignoring the problem hasn’t worked.
- Talking about things rationally hasn’t worked.
- Sharing your feelings hasn’t worked.
- Fighting about it hasn’t worked.
You solve one problem, and a new one crops up the next day.
So now you are not only frustrated about the original problem, you also have additional resentment and distance between you, because the effort you put into “fixing” things was futile.
You keep having the same conversations, arguments, or push/pull interactions without making any constructive changes.
But here’s the thing: There’s a very good reason why none of the things you’ve done up until now to solve your various problems and reconnect hasn’t worked or has even made things worse.
What you thought were your problems aren’t the real problem. The trick is learning HOW to identify what the system failure is, and getting the right tools to change it.
But the truth is, almost ALL the problems that couples face are due to just 5 main relationship flaws that are much easier to mend than you think!
And when you fix the flaw, you fix the operating system, and everything runs smoothly and elegantly again.
How can you find out what the underlying flaws are in your relationship?
That’s where my eBook, 5 Forces Destroying Your Relationship You’ve Probably Never Heard Of, comes in. Click here for more details.
