Differentiate What Your Partner is Saying vs What They Actually Need: Episode 118

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s be honest, we all have said to our partners one of these statements: “that’s not what I said, that's not what actually happened, what you are saying doesn’t make sense”. Especially for those partners (like Aaron) that are logical left brained people. As soon as this happens the predictable next sequence will be an argument or conflict, or at least not feeling like your partner is on your side. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Though this can feel like one of those areas where you and your partner are just different (male vs female or masculine vs feminine differences), the real culprit here is not making the differentiation between what your partner is saying versus what they need. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode we cover this big difference between the actual words that you or your partner use and what the missing need or deeper desire really is. You will get questions to ask your partner that lead to more connection and understanding than the typical difference of opinion, recurring conflict, or simple disconnections in your day to day life. This will elevate you and your listening skills in your relationship. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Resources For Your Relationship:</strong></p> <ol> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Give a gift to your relationship that will impact the rest of your year!
