Motivation To Change In Relationships

from Relationship Advice · host Thrive Therapy - Colter Bloxom, Lauren Mokarry, and Cayla Bozovich

Most relationships start with “I love you, you’re perfect”… and quickly turn into wanting your partner to change. The real problem isn’t usually whether they want to change—it’s that change is rarely A→B; it’s a process that requires understanding barriers, reducing shame, and building support. When couples shift from criticism to curiosity and create small, doable systems together, motivation increases and change becomes sustainable.
