A challenge comes up with you and your partner. Maybe you outright fight about it, or perhaps it lurks around in the background. You think to yourself – “We really need to fix this”.
And then life happens, things get busy. Or you make up after the fight and it doesn’t seem so bad after all. You keep doing what you do. Afterall, it’s not like you’re on the brink of breakup over this.
There is a common myth in relationships, that therapy or working on your relationship takes place when something is already broken. When the relationship is at crisis point.
In fact, the average couple waits six years after serious issues arise before getting help with relationship problems. By then it’s often too late. Half of all divorces occur within the first seven years of marriage or long term relationships.
The point of actively working on a relationship is not to save it. It’s about putting the foundations in place to thrive as a couple. Many of us are at our happiest when our relationships are firing. But so often we simply don’t have the tools to maintain that level of harmony, passion, intimacy and good communication. Or deal with the challenges when they do arise.
Seeking help early and establishing a framework for healthy interactions is like eating good food and exercising to prevent disease in the body. It’s an investment in your future, and actually feels good along the way.
Whether you’re currently in a relationship or not, at the beginning of a brand new relationship or on the brink of a breakup, join us at the upcoming Relationships Workshop. Create foundations that will have you to thrive in all your relationships, learn ways to keep the passion alive, learn how to maintain extraordinary connections and heal past pain.
Please note; Emma will be taking some time off in 2020 to focus on her growing family. This is the last Relationships Workshop for 14 months, so NOW is the time!
