A guy who’s jumped out of planes on skis and trekked some of the tallest mountains in the world - asked me

“What’s the craziest, most adventurousterous and dangerous thing you’ve ever done?”

My response - “I got married”

The greatest business decision you’ll ever make is the investment in your marriage.

[Luis Congdon @congdon_luis]

If you want to better manage conflict - especially in marriage — here are the top skills.

1. Learn to bring things up without inciting an issue (ask for consent to talk together)
2. Manage the emotions and escalation
3. When things escalate, take a break (return when calm)

There’s a misconception that women get more from marriage than men.

According to the latest research, that’s not true.

Men and women alike get a lot from committed partnership.

But, if we engage and review strong evidence based research — men get more from marriage.

Once you do enough repetitions to get a certain result, overtime your belief in the outcome will match the efforts.

And overtime, that faith and your actions make the results inevitable.

What you take for granted someone else wishes they had.

Feeling “too different” from your partner?

What if those differences were invitations to grow, find your wounds, inhibited spaces of self, and a chance to mature into your fullest self? #marriage #marriageadvice #datingtips #EmotionalIntelligence

[Luis Congdon @congdon_luis]

When conversations get heated, do you take breaks?

Do you and your partner manage the escalation of conversations?

Taking breaks helps to ensure safety, reduced anxiety, and making sure fight or flight doesn’t take over your interactions.

Being handy, friendly and generous pays.

After offering to hang hooks for the bathrooms, the gym manager let out a big smile: “great! If you do that I’ll waive a month’s of your membership”

A quick zzzztt, zzzzt, and I get a months membership. I’ll bring drill tomorrow.
