Tiny shifts can completely change the trajectory of your relationship
It goes without saying: intimate relationships are complex. Two unique individuals come together in an interactive dance of emotions and behaviors that becomes their signature way of relating.
When a relationship challenge arises, improving communication skills and scheduling more date nights too often amplifies their habitual ways of being together. What's needed is a fresh perspective on the profound, subtle, and continuous effect each partner has on the other.
Changing a relationship for the better often requires little more than a small change in awareness and behavior-a tiny yet effective shift that leads to the next tiny shift ... and the next ... until the couple builds reliable momentum toward the relationship fulfillment they desire.
The practical wisdom Jake Thiessen offers in this book includes: • Why conversation, not communication, is key • Why there's no such thing as a stupid argument • How to identify the source of repeated and unresolved conflict • Why it's okay to try to change your partner • How to make changes when nothing seems to be working
