Relational Reckoning: How to Decide if Your Marriage is Worth Fighting For
Manage episode 499769304 series 2087733
Relational Reckoning is a powerful tool that helps couples take inventory of their relationship, identify resentment, and make informed decisions about whether to stay together or part ways.
• Using coaching or therapy as a "misery stabilizer" indicates deeper relationship issues that need addressing
• Relational Reckoning answers the question: "Is there enough good in this relationship to mourn what I'm not getting?"
• Create two columns - "Good" and "Needs/Missing" - to visualize your relationship inventory
• For each unmet need, consider whether it can be met outside the relationship or by yourself
• Some needs, like physical intimacy, require direct communication and possibly professional guidance
• This tool can be used annually to reboot your relationship and have honest conversations
• Working with a relationship coach helps ensure you make decisions with clarity and peace
