Be Best Friends | LQ013
03/12/24 • 21 min
On today's episode, we're tackling the issue of loneliness. Did you know a staggering 76% of adults in North America feel disconnected, even if they're in a relationship? Sometimes, it's because we forget to lean on our partners for social support, or we're holding onto unresolved feelings. But here's the deal: treating your partner like a best friend is crucial. Forget surface-level friendships, deep connections with both your partner and friends are where it's at. So, don't hesitate to let your partner into your inner circle—it's the key to a fulfilling relationship and long-lasting companionship.

10 Things About Your Love | LQ012
It's often easier to focus on what annoys us about our partner than what we appreciate. This could be due to our tendency to notice annoyances more readily or unresolved anger. We're wired to notice obstacles rather than smooth sailing, which can skew our perspective. However, addressing annoyances promptly is vital. If left unprocessed, they accumulate and strain the relationship, leading to a decline in kindness and support. By promptly addressing issues and cultivating empathy, we can maintain a healthier relationship dynamic. Is it easy or difficult to come up with a list of things that you like about your partner versus things that annoy you?

Love the Process | LQ014
Today, let's talk about handling misunderstandings and miscommunications.
It's crucial to address these issues promptly to prevent resentment and foster successful communication. Before diving in, take a moment to process your own feelings: pause, label, accept, and be compassionate with yourself.
When initiating the conversation, approach it collaboratively to avoid defensiveness. And don't forget to end on a positive note by adding a touch of affection.
So, next time you face a misunderstanding, remember: process your feelings, collaborate, and end with love. Keep those conversations flowing!
