Love, Happiness, You and Your Partner

AHA'S AND ACTION:

Here are 2 thoughts, 2 inspirations, and 1 question for you to reflect on this week…

2 THOUGHTS FROM ME

1. The most important decision you’ll ever make is who you choose as your partner. It affects everything—your peace of mind, your confidence, your overall happiness.

I have Dave. And we do life as a team. We face challenges together, we celebrate wins together, and that partnership shows up in everything—from our work, to the relationships that we have with our boys, to how happy we feel. It’s the foundation. It’s everything.

2. For a long time, I thought conflict meant something was wrong with the relationship. Now I see it differently. Conflict shows up in our relationship because we care so much - when we are just trying to be heard, to feel understood—and we bump into each other in the process. We have a simple, honest conversation and a big hug with one another.

2 INSPIRATIONS FROM OTHER PEOPLE

1. “Behind every complaint is a deep personal longing.” by John Gottman.

2. According to the 85-year Harvard Study of Adult Development, the quality of your relationships—especially your closest one—is the biggest predictor of long-term happiness. In fact, researchers found that a strong partnership is up to four times more important to your well-being than your career success.

1 QUESTION FOR YOU

1. If your relationship is the most important factor in your happiness…, how are you investing in it today?
