When we stop voicing our opinions, what we want, and how we feel we erode the excitement, passion and joy that comes from honoring each persons individuality in relationship. We also need to learn to stop pleasing the other, while squashing our own voice, desires and feelings. An empowered, vital and awakened marriage creates space for each person to express themselves, and each person is empowered enough to speak up, even if it does make waves, or creates conflict. 

 

Dec 7, 2017

In this episode we are taking about the concepts of each partner taking Radical Self Responsibility, and what it means to "own it" in your relationship.

Be sure to listen to Part one from last week about recognizing and changing emotionally destructive behavior.
