How To Set & Achieve Your Relationship Goals
01/10/23 • 25 min
Sure, you can ask Google how to set relationship goals, and you will get all sorts of information; try it!
Maybe you even take a stab at one or two of the suggestions you discover.
You might quickly discover the Google suggestion felt awful and awkward, and your spouse didn't respond as you hoped.
Maybe you've already given these tactics a go, and your new year healthy eating goals lasted longer than a repeat of a tactic that left you feeling less than loved and desired.
Why are relationship goals so difficult?
My simple answer is this: we're talking about matters of the heart.
When it comes to matters of the heart, most of us will go to extremes to protect our hearts from getting hurt.
But, on this week's AwakenYou in your marriage episode...
EPISODE 100, BTW!!!!! 🥳
I am going to help you start taking steps toward the goal of creating a marriage that has your heart asking for more.

Pre-Empty Nest Life Planning with Kaia Hunter
The kids are getting ready to leave, and for many, this period of life has people a bit concerned about what's next.
You see that you have more time than you've had for years.
They get their license, have their own group of friends, and suddenly, time with your spouse feels awkward.
You're starting to ask yourself questions like:
- Who am I?
- Do I want to do something different career-wise?
- Do I want to work on my marital relationship, or do I want to leave?
This week I had an excellent conversation with Kaia Hunter about that stage of life when the kids start stretching their wings.
It's a stage where many withdraw into the nest, but it can be a beautiful stage of life where you also get to stretch your wings and discover what's next.
Tune into this week's episode and get acquainted with this next stage of your life.
Even if you don't have kiddos at this stage of life, you might be asking yourself the same questions, and this conversation might fully resonate with what you have been feeling.

One Crucial Element To Good Marital Communication
Try explaining something you don't understand; you can't do it without laughing or wanting to cry.
Let me explain.
You're in a funk, but you're not sure why; I mean, life is going really well right now; you should be partying like it's 1999!
You can't explain it to your spouse, so you withdraw, which could be understood through their lenses as you're mad at them for doing something wrong.
Nothing gets resolved, and you continue to distance yourselves to avoid feeling awful.
This is not good communication, but it's what happens in the lives of many couples.
What do you do about this problem? Learning to communicate well is a start, but you need to start practicing something else before communicating well.
First, I want to tell you to relax. This is going to feel so much better than trying to explain the unexplainable to your spouse!
This crucial step starts with you, like most things we do here in AwakenYou in your marriage, so tune into this week's episode, which is all about the One Crucial Element To Good Marital Communication.Show webpage: www.christinebongiovanni.com/101
