About

We are back home after a magical week in Grand Cayman, and we cannot wait to recreate the experiences we shared there on our upcoming Mind Body Marriage Couple Retreat. One of the main focuses of our intimate and explorative couples retreats is the practice of setting ‘couple goals’ for you and your partner. In this episode, we dive into what it takes to create ‘couple goals’ and establishing a roadmap to where you want to go together. By making the most of the time you have together and focusing on your understanding, communication and conflict resolution, you can figure out who you are individually and within your role as a couple.  If you feel like you and your partner on not necessarily on the same page, now is the time to avoid freaking out and take the opportunity to dive into what is and isn’t working so that you can check in with your partner in a productive way. By believing in yourself in an epic fashion and setting goals, you can give yourself and your partner the things that you both need to move forward as your best selves individually and as a couple.  Have you ever practiced setting couple goals? Share your experience with us in the comments section on the episode page.   In This Episode A peek into our upcoming Mind Body Marriage Couples Retreat How to talk about and create ‘couple goals’ for you and your partner Tips for avoiding falling into old patterns and how to start making new habits Ways to turn your perspective from being the victim to being the bigger person How to define who you are as an individual inside of your relationship   Quotes “Now to be able to help enrich other couples’ lives through our work is really exciting stuff.” (2:29) “Even though we nurture each other on the daily basis, we hadn’t really spent some time to really decide what we really want for the future, what kind of progress can we make together and what do we need to work on?” (4:45) “Sometimes if you actually just put your ego aside and show a little bit of affection, for example, it can really turn a lot of things around.” (11:57) “It’s so easy to see like ‘oh they have a podcast about resuscitating your marriage’, but it’s not that we have it all figured out either.
