Indepartners Communicate: Lisa and Kurt Hate the Phone

from Indepartners · host Lisa Finkelstein and Kurt Kraiger

It’s no big news that communication is important to great relationships, but when you are indepartners, communication is the relationship most of the time!  This makes it especially important to be intentional and communicate about communication (so meta); intentional not just what you communicate about, but also how you do it and how often.In Episode 3, Lisa and Kurt break down these three elements.  In the first segment, they discuss the different mediums of communication.  Get ready for a game of over/under regarding how often they use the phone!  In the second segment they talk about when (and how often) they communicate and the importance of taking advantage of the independent part of being indepartners, releasing the socially-imposed pressure to try to communicate as often as couples who cohabitate do.  In the last segment they hit on what they communicate about, and what they intentionally choose not to (and why).  As always, they wrap up with ideas listeners can try in any type of relationship.Thanks for listening!Original Indepartners theme song composed by David W.K.
