Relationship Advice for the Athlete with John Weiman

In this episode, we bring marriage counselor John Wieman on the podcast to talk about what makes a successful partnership. As you know, we believe that in order to find success in your sport and in life, it helps to have supportive people in your corner, and for many of us, that is a partner. John and Angela have worked together in the past and he is highly regarded in his field. We talk about the "sound relationship house" which has 7 pillars- creating shared meaning, making life dreams come true, managing conflict, the positive perspective, turning towards instead of away, sharing fondness and admiration, and building love maps.  Other highlights are John's belief in "yogurt time" and why he doesn't like the word "compromise." We also ask John, "How do you know if it's time to walk away?" Whether you are in the early stages of a relationship or have been together for over twenty years, we think you will get a lot out of this conversation.  Have a listen!  John's website: https://lifebridgecoaching.com/
