Every one of us humans has needs that need to be fulfilled to have a good life. Part of this search to fulfill these needs is what leads you to get into a relationship in the first place. You might think about survival type needs to begin with like food and shelter, but these are emotional needs that all of us seek to have fulfilled.  Since these 6 needs are emotionally based it can be easy to not pay attention to them which leads to it being easy to let them decline. Though it isn’t immediately obvious, the lack of these needs is what leads us to all our actions. When they are low in a relationship, it can lead to taking small innocent actions that lead to bigger issues of trust and disconnection.  In this episode you will hear the 6 human needs that were made famous by a Tony Robbins TED talk, but you will hear examples of how this places out in your relationship. We give you two actions to take to figure out your top two needs and the way to make sure you are always on top of where your partner’s level of fulfillment is at.   Resources For Your Relationship: Get 50% OFF The On-The-Go Communication Course to enhance your communication skills, even during your busy life, by using the code: PODCAST   About Us: We’re The Freemans, your go-to couple for authentic and actionable relationship advice.

The Danger of Too Much Nit-Picking and Questioning + 2 Ways to Shift to More Acceptance: Episode 195

How many of your past arguments and conflicts actually get fully repaired?

Just saying I’m sorry to move on often doesn’t cut it.

Break Destructive Patterns Mid-Conflict to Prevent Arguments From Escalating Further: Episode 192

Trust can be broken or weakened by both the big things and the build up of many smaller broken promises. Trust is such a foundational aspect of a relationship that without it, it’s harder to have respect, love, and passion for your partner.  In this episode we go deeper into rebuilding trust, whether you are the partner that doesn’t trust, or if you realize that you are the one that has contributed to the decline of trust. We were asked to take this topic deeper from a listener of the podcast that emailed us, because she was experiencing unreliability on the side of her partner. (We so appreciate you for requesting topics to cover!) Today you will hear about the small things that lead a partner to not “count on” the other, what the real source is of broken promises, and 3 steps to take to rebuild trust as a team.   Resources For Your Relationship: If you’re in or near Arizona, attend The Couples Workshop on September 26th, 2021.   If outside AZ, you can sign-up for a 2-on-2 Relationship Breakthrough Session here   About Us: We’re The Freemans, your go-to couple for authentic and actionable relationship advice.
