Here’s a question that I get from my couples all the time.
And it’s not even just the couples that I see in my office.
It’s people that I haven’t seen in a long time.
Or it will come from people that I’ve just met.
And the moment that they find out what I do for a living, they’re like, “Oh my goodness! What’s your number one or most repeated or most common piece of advice that you give to married couples to get to a better place — or that you use most often — or what have you?”
I call it renegotiation magic.
It’s magical.
And I explain how that works.
If you’re interested in finding out, go click to the related video — and I’ll see you in there.
If you’ve been married even just for a little bit and you’re not doing a family conference — what are you doing?
You can pick a day.
It can be on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, or in the middle of the week — whatever works best for you.
You don’t have to have a family to do this, even though I call them family conferences.
But if you’re finding yourself in that place of dropping plates or balls — right?
Too many times a week.
“This is getting too tiring.”
“How is it that we’re forgetting this?”
“How is it that we’re not — right?”
“Nobody was there to pick up the kid.”
Or, “We forgot to pick up the puppies from the doggy daycare.”
Or, “There was nothing to eat for dinner, and we want to do a better job cooking our meals at home.”
If you are finding yourself in that situation — again, I ask: what are you doing?
Why are you not doing a family conference once a week?
I encourage you to do it.
