Things Than Make My Marriage a Happier Place Pt1



These are a few things that I have found make my marriage a happier place. Now, this is a combination of what I've learned from my marriage to my late husband(16 years together), my current husband, books workshops, seminars, counseling and coaching. So all in all, I've been plugging away at this "happy relationship" thing for over 20 years of my life. This is an overview of some of the main things that make my marriage a happy place to be. I hope you enjoy and find it helpful. BTW there is a Part 2 posted on my YouTube channel. I will be posting it here next week but if you want a sneak peak go over and check it out www.youtube.com/SoulMateCoachCrystal.

Assumptions and Arguments

Yesterday I did a post on YouTube about things that make my marriage a happier place (I'll post it tomorrow). One of those things is, being aware of when I am making up a story making up a story or assuming. I wanted to talk a little bit today about assumptions is arguments. When we come to an argument with assumptions it can make it really hard to listen to what our partner is saying or to hear their point of view. Just think about it, when we assume, we have already decided what we believe is true. That doesn't leave room for much else. Making assumptions isn't bad, we do it all the time, it's when we try to apply those assumptions to someone else that we run into trouble. So try to be aware of when you are assuming you know exactly what someone else means. Chances are you don't and there is probably room to learn something new about you and your partner. Where do your assumptions hurt you most in relationships?

Being Present in Our Life

Slowing down and being present in our lives can feel hard at times. It can be so tempting to ignore the icky parts ( insecurity, fear, uneasiness, etc) and busy ourselves to keep from having to be present with the fact that something is going on with us. We will use work, kids, husbands, heck just about anything to keep from looking at what is really going on.

You know that feeling that I am talking about. Sometimes it happens when all the busyness of life dies down and everything is quite and that feeling creeps up that says something is not right. Other times it happens when we look around our lives and begin to ask thing like, "Who am I and how did my life get this way?" It can also show up as a nagging uneasiness that eats away at us day and night, subtly saying that we are missing something, we just don't know what it is.

The urge to turn away from these feeling and busy ourselves with something else can feel really tempting. To clean the house, work on a project for work or perhaps to run some errands.

But I am going to suggest that you try something different. Instead of turning away, walk towards the uneasiness. Ask the hard questions. Things like: What do I really want, what am I afraid of and what is this all about? The thing is this, what we resist persists and by not being present with the uncomfortable stuff we actually keep it around. So, what have you been running from and what do you need to do to be present with it today?

Is You Mindset Standing Between You and The Relationship of YOur Dreams?




Sometimes we can unknowing stand in the way of attracting the kind of relationship that we want. We can so this with our mindset. Sometimes we are so committed to believing in our mindset that we are not in touch with what we really want. As the adage goes, what we feed grows, so if we are feeding a mindset that doesn't reflect what we what, we will get more of what we don't want showing up in our lives. Where is your mindset standing in the way of creating the life or relationship that you want?

In this video I discuss tips and guidelines to giving an apology that will instantly shift almost any argument from a battle ground to a place of learning and understanding. Okay, okay maybe it won't instantly turn you into Gandhi BUT it will increase that odds that you'll find peace and resolution sooner rather than later :-)!

Breaking Up Is Hard to Do.

Break-ups can be really tough. Weather you are ready for the relationship to end or it comes as a total surprise, breaking up is usually a heart wrenching experience. As a widow I have learned many lessons in letting go and learning to live ans love again. I have also found that most of the lessons that I have learned in letting go work pretty well in any situation where separation and pain are involved. Take a look at my video for three things that helped me survive the toughest separation of my life.

Are You Using Manipulation to Get What You Want


Sometimes we are not direct and clear about what we want for a really good reason. We are trying to manipulate the situation to make things go one way: our way! Manipulation is not only dishonest, it kills intimacy in the relationship. See my video for more on why, despite your best intentions, manipulation can really hurt your relationship.

Asking For What You Want


Asking for what we want can feel a little scary at times. It requires that we first acknowledge what we want. Then we have to be honest and vulnerable enough to ask another person for it. All while risking hearing the word "no". Check out my video for more on asking for what you want.

Why "Clicking" With a Guy Can Actually Be A Sign That He's NOT Right For You


Don't mind the screen. The video will play if you click the button. I don't know what is going on with uploading my videos lately. I've also changed the days that I post to Tuesdays and Thursdays. Being in school and working has proven to be more of a challenge that I thought. So, in the name of consistency, I decided to change the days :-).

Sometimes, the same thing that causes you to "click" with someone, can be the very same thing that makes the relationship unhealthy. That instant and sometimes powerful connection that we call "clicking with" some one can be very misleading. To make a long story short, the thing that attracts you to someone, may not be the same thing that make someone a good long term mate. Check out the video for more.

I'm Baaacckkk!!!

Hi Guys! Don't worry about the black screen. Just click the play button and the video will play. Sorry for the lapse in posting. Life got a little crazy but I'm back now. I don't usually post on Thursdays but I missed you guys so much I couldn't wait until Friday.

Attraction, creation and maintenance are the three big parts of any relationship. I like to compare it to building a house. First comes the planning phase, floor plans (attraction), then the actual building of the home (creation) and then, there is the maintenance.

Whether we are aware of it or not we are doing these three things in our relationships everyday. If you are not in or have never had, the kind of relationship that you would describe as healthy, happy and fulfilling, what does this mean for you?

Well, If you are not experiencing the kind of relationships that you want, chances are that somewhere along the way, in terms of attracting , creating and maintaining the relationship you want, something has happened. Maybe you were subconsciously taught to never trust men. Perhaps, you have some unresolved pain from your past. It could be any number of underlying reasons that stand in the way. But the odd are very high that the answer lies somewhere within you.

What I know, is this simple truth. Of all the relationships I've been in, I am the common denominator. It wasn't until I stopped blaming ex boyfriends for why I didn't have the relationship that I wanted and really took a long hard look within, that I opened the door for real change. Learning to attract, create and maintain relationships that reflect my deepest desires, has changed my life. So I ask you, how could it change your life? What is your part in making this change a reality?

Check out the video for more of attracting, creating and maintaining the relationship you truly want.

Top 5 Dating Red Flags

This is a list of my five top dating red flags. These are things that tend to show up early in the dating relationship and let you know that the could be trouble ahead. Catching a red flag early can be the difference between one bad date turning into a bad relationship. Remember, people show and tell us who they are all the time, it's our job to pick up on the clues. We ultimately, have to learn to tell the difference between a "prince" and a ""toad! And, even though the toad might not come out and tell you he's a toad his words and actions sure will!

As I mentioned in the video, I am currently offering free sample coaching sessions. Sample sessions are a wonderful opportunity to see what Life/Relationship Coaching is all about.

An Attitude of Gratitude

Do you have an attitude of gratitude when it comes to your relationships? Can you honestly say that you focus more on the good, than the bad things in your relationship? If your answer is no, don't worry, you're not alone. It takes a lot of conscious effort, at least for most of us, to remind ourselves of what we love about our mates on a daily bases. Fear not! Because not only can it be done, with a little practice and some planning, you can be singing the praises of the same man that can sometimes, irritate your socks off! Trust me on this one ladies!

What Are You Committed To?




Often times we don't realize how deeply committed we are to an idea or notion. The truth is, often times, we are more committed to the life we have and doing things the way we have done in the past, than the life we say we want. The end result is that we wake up one day wondering, "How did I end up here? This isn't the life I wanted!" If this is you, this post may be helpful.

What is He NOT Saying?

This is an important question in getting to know someone. What someone is "not" saying can shed a lot of light on who that person is and how they think. It can give you insight on what they value and what they see as insignificant. Learning to decipher what he is not saying can go along way in determining if some one has long term mate potential. What important information could he be hiding, in what he's not saying?

We Have The Lives We Choose



Happy New Year!!! What better topic to start 2010 off with than our choices? We actually do have the lives we choose. I know, I know, sometimes it can feel like life just happens to us, but I want to challenge that idea. Take a quick look back over your life and look at a particular choice you made. How did it effect your life? Maybe you feel you made the best decision, maybe it wasn't the best choice. The point is you got to choose. Realizing that we have the power of choice gives us freedom to, thoughtfully and pro-actively create the lives and relationships that we want.

I offer FREE sample coaching sessions. Sessions are done over the phone, so distance is not an issue. If you are interested you can go to my website www.SoulMateCoachCrystal.vpweb.com or you can email me at SoulMateCoachCrystal@gmail.com.
