The Partnerhood Workbook (Revised & Expanded Second Edition): Strengthen Your Relationship As Your Family Grows

Here's a little snippet of my book to send you into Valentine's weekend. (Maybe use the prompts below to connect with your partner!):

"By recounting your love story together with your partner, you can remember where you came from so you can plan where you want to go."

I love asking my couple clients to do this exercise with each other. Helping them retell their origin story reignites fondness, admiration, and appreciation for each other. It can be difficult to see the forest for the trees sometimes when you're in the trenches of raising children together. All couples who become parents evolve from who they were when they first got together. It's not uncommon for many couples to feel some grief about how much they have changed along the way. However, allowing space for storytelling shows them how far they've come and what obstacles, challenges, and victories they have encountered throughout their journey.

Some of the questions I ask in this exercise are:

How did you meet?

Why did you decide to get together?

Why did you decide to stay together?

What was your first date like?

A majority of couples really enjoy telling their story. I encourage them to include any humorous moments, funny plot points, and playful interactions as their story progresses.

What about you? What's your story?

Relationship gridlock is not a fun place to be stuck in for anyone. Recognize when you're in gridlock, take a breath, and start a conversation to understand your partner's point of view and values in that moment.

Ultimately, you may not get to an immediate resolution, but you will at least gain a better appreciation for what's important to your partner and why. In so doing, you'll build more empathy and connection overall, even if you don't agree.
