Grand romantic gestures (like couples massage 😉) on Valentine’s Day are great, but wouldn’t it be even better to make your relationship last?

You’ve probably heard that poor communication is a top reason why relationships fall apart. Let’s be clear: I’m not that kind of therapist, but I do appreciate great communication. I strive to improve my own communication skills on a regular basis.
Valentine’s Day is a time-honored tradition to celebrate romantic relationships. You bet, Joyful Rising is a wonderful place for a couple’s massage, and I encourage you to book yours with us!
But what if you’re tired of designating just ONE day for affection with your partner?
What if your desire is to make more days of the year romantic?
Since many relationships come to an untimely end because of poor communication, maybe that’s the right place to start making adjustments.
If you’ve never heard of the 5 Love Languages, please, please, please, can I be the one to turn you on to its magic?
Without going too deep into my personal history with My Dude, we had our fair share of communication misfires over the years. Clearing up the misunderstandings required intention, focus, and resolve.
We took the 5 Love Languages Quiz – separately – and then we shared our results. The goal was to understand how we prefer to express and receive love. The results were illuminating. I shed tears – the healing kind, not the sad kind. We had a pretty cool conversation afterward, and then we did our thing.
With the knowledge I learned about what was important to him, I set out to show him love in ways that he’d appreciate. Since we’re talking about a relationship, he reciprocated. If he hadn’t made the same effort, we wouldn’t be talking anymore.
Communication isn’t just showing or telling.
Communication is also listening and receiving. The listening part is tricky, because we humans tend to INTERPRET what we hear. Once we interpret what our partner is saying, sometimes we actually arrive at a different meaning than what our partner intended.
That’s why it’s critically important to confirm what we’ve heard is what our partner meant.
I promise, that confirmation leads to a mutual “click.” That’s when our eyes open at the same time with a shared “a-ha.”
If the shared path you’ve been on so far has led to Resentment Resort, Inconsiderate Inn, Hell Hotel, or Dullsville, and you want a more satisfying relationship, I have something special for you!
