Now that you've been together for a bit, a sneaky little thing called unmet expectations can begin to sabotage your starry-eyed love affair. That's why it is so important that you START WITH YOU! Because friends, YOU are where it's at in your stepfamily!
Oftentimes, we have high expectations and low communications when it comes to what we need in our relationships. Today's episode revisits a modified version of #39, where Bill & Jen share the importance of reducing unmet needs through the power of having a combined marriage mindset.
We reference the SYMBIS - Assessment throughout the episode. We invite you to take the assessment with us (it requires trained facilitators) so you can begin to build your Stepfamily Legacy. The SYMBIS is the first step. Check our website for enrollment opportunities or book a free, 30-minute consult to get started!
You know when you hear that mysterious rattle as you're driving in your car?
Sure you do, it's the sound that mysteriously disappears the moment you attempt to explain it...well, reenact it, really, when you're chatting with the mechanic.
Your mechanic may raise his eyebrows at you as you hiss, screech, or make some other, "what the heck is wrong with my car" sound...but, he will listen. And...he'll pull your car into the shop to assess what's going on.
Bill and I propose the same strategy when it comes to your marriage.
When we discover the time is ripe for gathering specific tools to gain momentum and develop a marriage mindset, it's a good time for an assessment. It's also a great time to find others who have gone before you to help encourage and guide you along the way.
