What Are You Really Looking For in Your Next Relationship?

from Men on the Path to Love · host Steven Beddall

After breakup or divorce, loneliness can make getting almost any attention feel like “the answer,” but that’s exactly how smart, good men end up repeating the same relationship patterns with a different person. I'm opening season six with a new series called Loving Differently the Next Time Around. In this episode, I slow things down by asking: what are you really looking for in your next relationship, and what are you hoping it will give you?I talk about the trap of dating to get relief after divorce or a breakup, and why preferences and attraction are real, but not all you need. I share a coaching story about “Sam,” who had a detailed list of what he wanted in a woman, yet couldn’t describe what he wanted the relationship itself to feel like. I offer a practical framework to help you get clarity in what you want in a relationship. I help you get clear about how you want to feel in your next relationship, get specific about what your relationship looks like in everyday life, and letting your values guide your choices.  You’ll leave with a simple exercise you can do.
