My 7 Best Relationship Tips For Men
As a Relationship Coach and Psychotherapist for over 15 years, I am privileged to witness all stages relationship development, and honored to share my 7 best tips for dating, relating and mating for a thriving relationship:
1.Fix yourself! Heal unresolved, past, relationship issues, and consciously practice evolving at every stage of a relationship.
2.Know your requirements, needs and wants BEFORE entering into a relationship. It is like having a map to the hidden treasure.
3.Cultivating a relationship is a marathon, not a sprint. Your wedding day is not the finish line! Consciously date your wife, especially after the wedding.
4.Chemistry is intoxicating! Aligned values, NOT chemistry, give the greatest chance for relationship success.
5.Practice intimacy (in-to-me-see)! You will have a deeper, more fulfilling, meaningful relationship with intense love making.
6.Have courage to be vulnerable! Vulnerability will go against your natural instinct, but it is ESSENTIAL in building connection. If vulnerability or intimacy scares you, seek out a Relationship Coach or Psychotherapist.
7.When ending a relationship, have a face-to-face conversation. “Ghosting” (disappearing act) is abandonment! It is cowardly, doesn’t allow for closure, and is wounding (leading to having to “Fix Yourself”- see # 1).
