Creating a Joint Life – a Successful Transition into a Committed Partnership

How a relationship works is a mystery to most of us. That is probably why there are so many books, theories and discussions about it.

Consider that on a larger scale, war exists because we as people do not know how to make a relationship work. I myself have trained in quite a few modalities of couples techniques in my quest for "the answer."

In the beginning relationships feel magical. Ah yes, we feel special, desired, floating on air. Studies show that within 3 to 18 months those feelings start to fade as they are due to endorphins being released by our brains. As our expectations are not met and we begin to encounter disappointment, the commitment to grow our love fades. If we know how, we can use that magical feeling as a platform on which to base a lasting relationship.

If you are considering marriage or a domestic partnership, you will want to gain clarity on how a relationship works, so that you can have a successful and happy relationship. A relationship that feels magical.

What I can offer you is my expertise about how to enter into a committed relationship with the highest probability of success.

Consider:

  • What are your core values? Are they compatible?
  • Do you know how to negotiate and resolve issues?
  • Have the two of you set mutual goals for your life together?
  • Do you know how to create a plan?
  • What are your expectations of yourselves and each other, in-laws, friends?
  • How do you or will you negotiate chores, responsibilities and develop healthy routines?
  • Have you discussed and come up with a plan for managing finances?
  • Are you sexually compatible and comfortable talking about sex with each other?
  • Have you discussed if you want to have children?
  • Are your parenting styles compatible?
  • Do you share joint interests?
  • Do you allow for personal separate interests?
  • Is there Balance in your relationship?
