What Relationship Suits You?

What Relationship Suits You?     Are you a Mother/Wife? Husband/Father?  Is there a distinct difference between being a Husband and a Father or a Mother  vs  a Wife?  If one suits you more isn't it important to recognize the difference?   Many individuals choose to do both but with #ConsciousCoupling we want you to recognize and choose what is right for you, not what was right to your parents.  In modern marriage and the era we are in, many are choosing one over the other depending on what feels right.  The actor Mathew McConaughey  has three children, something like that, I'm not as a much a fan.  However  in the recent news, the mother of his children gave him an ultimatum to marry her. Well, he hasn't wanted to marry but he has wanted to father children.  Those of us who are not in the spotlight may have the same feelings.  In #ConciousCoupling, it's OK to be honest with yourself as to what is the best fit for you.     Familial love is about sharing your love and a family way, connecting and bonding over caretaking, guiding, protection, and providing as a parent.   Romantic love is about sharing your love with an equal partner, companionship, shared interests and values.  If both of these resonate for you then marriage and children may be your better choice.  If only one resonates for  you then choose the best fit and disregard the other but be honest with your mate about how you feel.   While making this decision, it's also important to understand the root cause of this choice, perhaps stemming from your own family of origin and its influence on you as an adult. It is best to explore the root just in case your decision is rooted in hurt, disillusionment, etc. having a barrier doesn't necessarily make for solid decision -making when #ConciousCoupling.

Has Home Changed It's Meaning?

Has Home Changed Its Meaning?   Often life comes fraught with stress, burdens, anger, and frustrations, a home eases the weight and has been called more than the structure one lives in time again and time again. The value of the home should never be overlooked in relationships. #ConciousCoupling is about making informed choices to place love at the epicenter of wholeness. It is a conscious decision to complete the work necessary to live as a whole person. Why not include as part of this choice making your home a haven from the complexities of modern life?   The Role of Home in Relationships When a relationship where two people live together begins to break apart so does the notion that the home is a sacred place to escape from the pressures of the outside world. Instead of turning to our home to nurture and fill us we find reasons to avoid being in our space. Our home turns from a haven to a battle ground. We find excuses to work late, or take the long way home, we find ourselves dreading the time we are there. #ConciousCoupling includes making the home safe and loving for not only the couple but also children. A home that has become a battleground can be reclaimed.   Reclaiming the Home If you and your significant other are committed to working together and working on improving the relationship, the home can be an easy place to start. Altering the physical space can be the first step to creating new memories. A couple can make a conscious choice to as a team to update, redecorate, or otherwise the change their physical space. Changing the space can allow the tangible transformation from battleground back to a safe place.  Often as the home changes from home to a place where one lives eating meals together changes from something enjoyed to something barely acknowledged. In a busy household, it may not always be feasible to share every dinner together. Sharing a Sunday brunch at home could be a way to begin to bring back shared meals. Through creation of positive memory, the house can turn back into a home. A safe place to grow and nourish the family is an essential component to #ConciousCoupling.   CONSCIOUS COUPLING   Conscious Coupling is about helping people become aware of their differences by using "Root Cause Analysis".  Dana and Don have seen many cases and have determined and proved why people fall and slip onto the path of divorce.  Conscious Coupling averts the disaster before it's too late.    Beginning this October, ConsciousCoupling will offer a couples' support group in Wantagh and Manhattan.

When is Arguing OK?

ARGUING     When Arguing Helps When you think of a couple arguing, what's the first image that comes to mind? Al and Peggy Bundy from "Married with Children"? Ike and Tina Turner? Maybe even your next door neighbors? Whatever you envision, it's important to remember that when #ConsciousCoupling, what may seem or sound like a fight may actually be something going on within those walls that's healthy and constructive.   Watching Your Tone Couples are going to disagree about some things, that's a given. What turns a disagreement into an all-out argument (most of the time) is when someone starts yelling at the other. No one likes to be screamed at, no matter if they're deep in love or not. That being said, always watch your tone. More than likely what you are disagreeing about isn't that serious anyway, and you shouldn't let it mess up your day. Respect your partner as a person, and don't be so loud that the neighbors are in your business. If the two of you are talking one on one privately about an issue, then it should stay that way. #ConsciousCoupling means listeding to constructive criticism and doing what is right for both instead of doing everything everybody tells you.   Agreeing to Disagree  If you and your partner don't live together, then small disagreements may not turn into arguments, simply because you're not always around each other. The little annoying things they do don't have enough of a chance to irk you when you're in separate houses! But, if the two of you do cohabitate, then you have to realize that at the end of the day you need to come to some type of agreement, even if it's a disagreement. Remember, relationships are give and take. You can't have everything your way, and neither can they. Be accepting of small idiosyncrasies and miniscule things that you don't particularly like about them. If you love the person completely and unconditionally, you'll actually begin to see the beauty in their flaws and you will have developed your #ConsciousCoupling.

Balancing Work and Love when #ConsciousCoupling

Balancing Work & Love   There is nothing more attractive than a working person. In fact, many people initially meet the man or woman that they end up falling in love with while they are in their work clothes! But you have to balance work and love. It's vital to your relationship.   Turn Down Hours You Don't Need  So you looked at the schedule for the week, saw what days you had off, and decided that you'd spend that time with your lover. A few days pass, and now tomorrow is your day off. Right as you are clocking out, your boss offers you another day to work.  You immediately start thinking about the extra overtime, but as a practicer of #ConsciousCoupling you think about the fact that you told your spouse you both were going out tomorrow night. What do you do? If I may use the old phrase from grade school that we used against drugs, "Just Say No". Working too many hours is just as addictive as any drug if you love to make money, but too much of anything will kill you. You have to keep your workaholic tendencies in check when you're in a #ConsciousCoupling committed relationship. You don't want your lover to get too lonely.      Work on Your Relationship Instead I know you've heard this before, but relationships are work. They aren't a place of employment, but they require time and energy just like one. Taking that time off to spend with your partner will get you a lot of cool points with them, simply because they know how much working hard means to you. They will see it as a sacrifice, and love you even more for it.   I know. You want to be able to buy them anything they want, and give the one that holds your heart the world. But, for right now, they are just as happy #ConsciousCoupling and getting more of your time.
