176. Uncover Your Relationship Style and Gain Hopeful Insights From Our Journey

Blended Family Breakthrough

Do you ever think about your romantic relationship now compared to what you'd really like to experience as a couple?

If you ever wonder (or even feel hopeless) about how to make progress, you're in the right place today.

Research reveals five different Relationship Styles based on a combination of things like communication habits, conflict resolution, parenting partnership, and finance management. In addition, aspects of leisure time, sexuality, friends and family, role sharing, and spiritual beliefs all play a part.

The truth is that your romantic relationship has a unique combination of strengths and weaknesses across all of these aspects.

Understanding your particular combination helps you discover where you are now and how to grow your relationship toward what you really want.

As we look back over our journey, we've realized that different seasons of life have had a big impact on our marital experience and shifted our relationship style.

In this episode, we'll unpack 5 Relationship Styles. We'll also share a few surprising and hopeful pieces of our story that might help you navigate the season you're in right now to reach your ideal relationship style!

You'll Discover:

• Unique characteristics that reveal 5 different relationship styles
• Strengths and weaknesses in your relationship and how to reach your ideal relationship style.
• Hopeful (maybe surprising) insights about our relationship as we've navigated 23 years of blending.
