How To Maintain And Strengthen Your Relationship - with Byron and Margaret
Hearts Entwined Podcast
Lyn welcomes married couple Byron and Margaret, who are marriage mentors and podcasters. They share their unique journey of love, friendship, and resilience, having married young and faced numerous challenges, including the complexities of raising children and navigating personal growth. They also discuss the importance of communication, the value of nurturing friendship within a marriage, and the lessons learned from difficult times, including a period of emotional distance that ultimately strengthened their bond.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
A strong and lasting relationship is built on a foundation of friendship. Nurturing this friendship helps partners connect and communicate effectively. Open and honest communication is crucial for maintaining and strengthening a relationship. Partners should feel safe to express their feelings and concerns without fear of judgment. It's normal for couples to have differences of opinion. Healthy relationships allow for disagreements, and partners should learn to pick their battles and agree to disagree when necessary. Creating a safe space for vulnerability is essential. Both partners should feel comfortable sharing their emotions and seeking support from each other, as well as from external sources like mentors or therapists. Difficult periods in a relationship can lead to growth and a deeper connection. Facing challenges together can strengthen the bond and encourage partners to work as a team.BEST MOMENTS
"We focus on making sure that our relationship is intact and together and the other stuff we work through as a team."
"If your spouse can't be vulnerable and open with you, that leaves the door for someone else to step in and be that safe place."
"You have to like your partner. Love is great, but you have to like that individual."
"It took a lot of putting the individual aside sometimes and thinking, okay, is this really worth what could happen if I continue down this path."
"If there's something about me that's wrong, I need to work on it."
