Episode 51--X & Y On The Fly--How Can Couples Help Each Other Grow As Individuals?

Summary: Just because you and your significant other are now a couple doesn't mean you stop being two individual humans. Joining us this time are Stephen and Theresa from Ownstream, who do a lot of thinking about this important subject. What's the difference between supporting someone to grow vs. trying to get them to change? If you know something's good for your partner, how do you get them to come along without forcing the issue? Is there a right way to frame a conversation with your partner that motivates both of you to grow more...together? We also discuss the importance of breaking away from the same-old patterns,and how to do that in the most productive way possible instead of disrupting a great relationship. Also, why predictability in a relationship might or might not be good for your relationship. As an added bonus, you get the world's most amazingly effective but counter-intuitive strategy for getting infants to fall asleep in the car.
