This week I listened to this podcast<\/a> (this link has an 8 minute highlight reel of The Diary of a CEO interview with James Sexton). Even though it was over 2 hours long, I had to listen in one go as it was compelling stuff. The biggest take-away for me is the advice to ‘pay attention to you, me and the we’. New York divorce lawyer, James Sexton thought couples divorce because they don’t do this well enough. It is losing interest in your partner, not being true to your own needs or focusing too much on the children. It is not caring enough about the two of you as a unit. It’s of course, easier said than done, but loving and respectful relationships are very well worth it. This simple advice might just help us stay on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a celebrant and relationship coach, I love discussing advice like this with you. I would love to work with you to help find out, continue or create rituals that work for you. I draw on the work of reputable professionals like The Gottman Institute<\/a> and wonderful resources like from The School of Life<\/a> to supplement my training in mindful relationships<\/a>. You can work with me in the lead up to your wedding and afterwards to help you stay strong in marriage. I tailor it to what suits you and it often involves yoga, meditation and playful games to explore and extend your curiosity about yourself and one another. Please let me know if you’d like to find out more.<\/p>\n\n\n
