Couch Talk

A client recently asked me why my relationship with my wife has been so fulfilling and I told them, it’s because we talk about all the stuff in between us on the couch.

They were like what?

And I said. We made a commitment to each other when we started dating that we would put everything out in the open. So the things that most couples have between them on the couch that they’re thinking and never say to one another, we skip that part. No secrets, no suppressing our real thoughts and feelings about each other, our relationship, and if we have something that is bothering us.

We set a precedence of having open exchanges where we could hurt each others feelings, have big disagreements, and not be very happy with each other.

On the flipside, it created an incredible amount of trust, confidence, and appreciation for each others perspectives.

Because we can talk about anything, I know I can 100% depend on my wife for anything.

If you’re looking to build more intimacy and understanding in your relationship, start to talk about the things in between you and your partner on the couch.
