Solving Communication Issues with Your Partner

Hi all! Olivia here. Here is another video of Kyle and I answering a question that one of you wrote in. This vlog is on relationships and what you can do to turn your communication issues around.

Watch the video below to get clarity about how to move forward with your partner.

What Olivia learned from the conversation:

• It’s hard when a “want for us” isn’t defined. If it’s not present then it’s just two people trying to get what they want and there is a lot of defensiveness and protection.

• Have a conversation with your partner about what you are trying to achieve. A lot of the negative dialogue can’t withstand a conversation about building a life you both would love.

• Masculine energy (in general) is less open and receptive. You can bridge that gap by talking about what you are trying to achieve as a couple.

• There is a risk in having this conversation because you both could want different things but it’s a good thing to know and stay in communication about.

• The invitation is to take your partner out to dinner, or make a special dinner at home and ask your partner, “What are we trying to achieve in this relationship?”

• Once you have a “want for us” then use it to solve whatever problem is up. Ask, “How can we solve this issue, knowing what our shared goals are?”

We would love to hear from you! Send your questions or topics for our next vlog to Olivia@inquirymethod.com

Thanks for watching! I hope each and every one of you feel more capable of flowing smoothly through your next conversation by using your “want for us” as a guide for what you want to achieve.
