Description
Do you ever feel like your relationship takes a backseat once kids come into the picture? I'm Cindy Hovington, and I promise you, by the end of this episode, you'll be equipped with the tools to ensure your relationship doesn't falter while you're navigating parenthood. With the insights shared by our esteemed guests,Rachel and Stacey, two licensed marriage and family therapists from Decoding Couples, you'll learn how to regulate emotions, handle heated conversations and model these behaviors for your children. We also discuss how to maintain a solid connection with your partner during challenging times like a pandemic.As the conversation unfolds, we journey into uncharted territories of relationship communication and emotional intelligence. Our experts share valuable advice on ensuring respect during disagreements, the pivotal role of accountability, and offer a lifeline to repair communication when it seems irreparable. But what about listening? Often overlooked, we discuss the power of effective listening and the benefits of nurturing a 'we' mindset in parenting. In the final part of our discussion, we tackle the tough stuff - unhealthy relationships, signs of an abusive relationship, dealing with narcissism, and navigating through a divorce. We provide strategies to ensure children aren't negatively affected by a divorce and wrap up with valuable advice on maintaining a healthy relationship, particularly when transitioning from a two-parent household to a single-parent home. So buckle up for an enlightening journey on striking the perfect equilibrium between parenting and keeping your relationship robust and healthy.Learn more from Rachel and Stacey:https://www.decodingcouples.com/Follow Decoding Couples on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/decoding_couples/Listen to the Decoding Couples Podcast:https://www.decodingcouples.com/podcastTake their masterclass Stop Fighting, Start Talking:https://www.decodingcouples.com/webinar-registrationThank you to our friends that are offering you a discount code:Pok Pok is a collection of digital toys that spark creativity and learningthrough open-ended play.
