052: What Happens When Your Relationship Is Off Track?

Some days in a relationship are bright and rosy and fun and games. Other days or weeks... just aren’t.

We’re currently in a season where we feel out of sync, and this episode is all about it. We’re talking about how we haven’t liked each other all that much recently (yikes, I know), and how we’re trying to fix it.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Negative patterns, where everything your partner wants makes you crazy
• Bud’s golf and nap routine that caused our most recent argument
• The cyclical nature of relationships
• How to use appreciation to get out of negative patterns and start dwelling on the positive
• Confronting negativity rather than ignoring it
• Being self-aware when you’re in a bad mood about your partner

#ConfidentCouples Challenge:

If you’re feeling out of sync, write down three things you appreciate about your partner.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Sara’s recommendation for training yourself to notice the positive things your partner does: 006: Acknowledge & Appreciate
