S2 E9: Connecting with Your Spouse (or anyone, honestly)

MIND. BODY. PURPOSE.

Wether or not you have a spouse, the principles shared in this episode can apply to any relationship that is important to you. Listen to hear each of these takeaways in detail (there's so much more in the full episode)!

MIND: Connect like it's all you (because it is).

The feeling of connection comes from what's going on inside our own minds, not from how other people treat us or behave etc. Wether or not our spouse is behaving in ways that make it easy for us to feel connected, it's still an option available to us through our thoughts; we can use our imagination to find compassion and understanding, we can access gratitude, we can find the ways we are more alike that we thought (like noticing that we are both doing what we think is best).

BODY: Play together!

Adding levity and playfulness helps our energies feel cohesive and aligned. "Laugher is the shortest distance between two people."

PURPOSE: View marriage as an opportunity for growth.

No other relationship requires the same degree of vulnerability, compassion, and continual repentance and forgiveness. It's the one relationship where if we are open to it, we can see the most clearly who we are being.
