Description

In this episode, I dive into a topic that's crucial for fostering peace and connection in your relationships: How to Get Your Partner to Change. Now, I know what you're thinking – isn't trying to change your partner futile? We've all heard that the only person you can change is yourself. But let's be real: most of us find ourselves wanting our partners to change certain behaviors, especially when those behaviors impact us. In this episode, I explore how Nonviolent Communication (NVC) can support you in navigating this delicate territory without resorting to nagging, complaining, demanding, or threatening. Drawing on examples from my own relationships and those of listeners and clients, I share practical strategies to communicate effectively and foster understanding. In this episdoe I discuss: The importance of shamelessly accepting your own desires for your partner to change. How to identify and articulate your feelings and needs surrounding your partner's behavior. Approaching the conversation with curiosity rather than criticism. Understanding your partner's perspective and the needs driving their behavior. The power of connection and empathy in facilitating meaningful change. Join me as I explore how to shift from adversaries to allies in the journey toward growth and connection in your relationship.  Resources ~Want individualized support with your unique relationship?

Did you know that too much conflict and arguing is one of the top 3 reasons couples get divorced? According to Forbes, 58% of divorcing couples cited this as their #1 reason for splitting up. When I read this 2024 statistic, my first thought was: It doesn't have to be this way! Hi, I'm Ali Miller, and I created the Love Each Other Better Podcast to share relationship-saving tools and principles that will help you and your partner spend less time fighting and more time doing what you do best: loving each other. I'm a longtime Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and a Certified Coach specializing in couples communication and conflict resolution. I've worked with hundreds of couples over the past two decades, helping them work through their challenges and create thriving relationships. On the Love Each Other Better Podcast, I share transformational tools and inspiration from Nonviolent Communication to help couples find their happy again, tools I've only been sharing with my clients and students until now. I am overjoyed to be able to share them with you here on this podcast. Whether you're on the verge of divorce or just a tad bit dissatisfied in your relationship and know it can be so much better, you're in the right place if you want more fun, more ease, and more LOVE in your relationship. I'm so glad you're here.
