That's how I look at these issues, and it's how I encourage my clients to see them, too.
My approach emphasizes that not only can we find resolution in conflict, but we can also learn to flourish from it. It's an important realization in the path toward rekindling passion in marriage and rebuilding your partnership with your spouse.
I help couples and individuals stop reacting out of human nature to find ways to reach their human potential. The benefits are greater intimacy and partnership, a better and more passionate sex life, calmer parenting, and increased satisfaction with life. Get started here if you want to learn more.
I'm trained in the Passionate Marriage approach*, by Dr. David Schnarch and taught by Drs. Schnarch, Morehouse and Regas, which encourages humanity to reach its potential using normal marital difficulties as the springboard. You may also have heard of Hal Runkel's new book "ScreamFree Marriage: Calming Down, Growing Up, and Getting Closer" which is also in the school of thought I come from.
If you're ready to change your relationship, contact me for an introductory session.
* Training disclosure: I have attended 2 beginning level, multi-day workshops as well as 2 intermediate level, multi-day workshops. I am in an ongoing consultation group with Dr. Morehouse as well as my own intense personal study and application of the work of Dr. Schnarch.
