Episode 42: Creating an Easy Love in Your Relationship

My conversation today with Jaime Morgan, a Gottman certified Life/Marriage and Relationship coach, was such an amazing chat. We talked about what having an ‘easy love’ means and how you can work to create an environment in your relationship that allows for love, friendship, kindness, and compassion to flow freely through the ebbs and flows of life and love. I promise you’ll walk away from today with some really awesome takeaways to take your relationship to the next level.

In this episode:

*Let’s define What is an EASY LOVE actually is:
A love that flows and smooth. It has a good ebb and flow. Knowing that no relationship is perfect, but feeling like everything flows.

*Marriage takes work, but it doesn’t have to be awful, hard, complicated work.

*Being aware of our OWN actions

*Getting the right tools and habits in place.

*Friendship needs to be the foundation of your relationship.

*We weren’t taught in school how to be married or how to show, and share emotion.

If you’ve never been taught something, how can you be expected to know how to do it.

*Personal responsibility and working on yourself is KEY to working on your marriage.

*The only thing we have control over is ourselves. Trying to change someone else’s behavior is futile.
