Episode 37 - Is Your Relationship Lock-Down Proof?

Building Better Relationships at Home and Work with Angela and Patti

In today’s podcast episode, we will be discussing how to fool-proof relationships so they can endure during lock-down. With any relationship, you will have things that are going to irritate you about the other person. No one is perfect, and no relationship is either. You will have highs and lows during the partnership. For some, it is easier to walk away than to work it out. Anything worth having you have to work at it. Now, let's get real, there were many times Patti felt like running away, and that was pretty much my inner and outer struggles, not him. It's okay to feel this way at times, and it's alright to take a break to figure things out when needed. It takes two to have a healthy, thriving relationship. In relationships, you have two imperfect people with very different views on what a happy relationship should look like while trying to relate to each other, besides having a different upbringing, love languages, personalities, and values. Gary Chapman wrote a book on the 5 Love Languages. It's important to do things together as well. Have a date night at home - dress up, make a special dinner, etc. Sit outside with a glass of wine or beer, coffee or hot chocolate, whatever is your favorite beverage and watch the sunset, go for a walk, watch a TV show or movie together or go for a bike ride, take a drive in the car together to get outside and away from home. For more tips on surviving social isolation, we did a podcast on Episode 15 on this topic. How are you surviving the lock-down in your relationship?

Are you looking for an activity to connect as a couple? Angela is offering an online movement meditation class where couples can explore healing touch with their partner and feel heart connection with your partner:

It happens right in the comfort of your home over zoom and is excellent for those looking to do an activity that is not just watching Netflix and can break up your routine with something new and a shared activity to enjoy with each other. You can do it with a friend or child over 14 as well. Individuals can also join in the class and discover how to feel connected to your heart and build your awareness of what love is and how easy it is when you create a supportive environment.

Some things to consider as you think about your lockdown experience. How did you survive it, or how are you still surviving it? What have you discovered about your relationship? Did you blame yourself, your government, your partner, your children? We would love to hear your answers to these questions of your lock-down experience. Patti and Angela are intending and wishing all the best for your relationships where you can build stronger resilient connections that will prosper in these times.
