#2: The Tool That Immediately Improved Our Relationships

from The Ordinary Family · host Coleman Housefield and Abby Housefield

If you want to have authentic, deep, healthy relationships with the people you love the most you have to toss out that manual you have for them. Let them be who they want to be and get to know the person you love for who they truly are.We all have relationship manuals. These manuals tell us (not the other person) how the other person is supposed to behave. We expect them to do this not that. When the other person follows our manual for them we feel pretty good about the relationship, when they don’t we often feel disappointed, irritated, maybe even resentful about it.This is a daily practice for us (Abby and Coleman). We still have days where we go back to our manual for each other, our kids, our parents, our friends. We’re practicing dropping our manual for them and seeing the people we love the most for who they truly are.Will you join us in building the strongest, most authentic relationships of your life?Have a question or comment to share?
