"We are committed to increasing your relationship IQ"

Education and Listening Skills are Vital for Relationships

Let me ask you: What would it be like if schools taught children how to listen as well as how to read and write?

Listening is more important than speaking, since over 60% of all communication is through body language.

No one is really listening, they are judging, interpreting and figuring out what they're going to say before you finish, if you finish at all.

Interpersonal skills are eroding with the advent of technology, emails, and texting.

In designing a Relationship for the next 25 Years, you need education, along with selection, acceptance, communication, commitment and change in consciousness.

I've already talked about Selection, Acceptance and Communication. Next time I'll cover commitment...

The Relationship Transformation Era - Communication

We find ourselves in the “Relationship Transformation Era.” How would you design a relationship for the next 25 years? What can be done to decrease the divorce rate, reduce the number of single female parents and enhance our ability to relate to our partners? We're addressing six ways you can do this and they include selection, acceptance, communication, education, commitment and change in consciousness.

Today, I'll talk a bit about communication...

Communication

Most people focus on talking; very few are authentic and active listeners.

We can only hear through our biases and interpretations of life.

We see and understand life in our own unique way; no two people see life exactly same way, not even twins.

It takes work and skill to be a heartfelt listener who is more interested in validation and empathy than interpretation and judgment.

Are you a good communicator? What are your thoughts on relationship communication? We would love to know! Post your comments below...

Acceptance - Designing a Relationship for the 2010 Era

We are in the “Relationship Transformation Era.”

How would you design a relationship for the next 25 years?

Last time we talked about Selection.

Today we talk about Acceptance:

We see life differently; we're always attempting to show our partners how life looks from our vantage point.

The problem is our partners can't see our lives with their glasses, most of them can only see their worlds with their own glasses.

The solution is to have someone who is willing to see you with your glasses.

Anyone who is interested and committed to seeing, and hearing your story, viewpoint, or interpretation of life is a gift.

Tomorrow, we will discuss Communication...

Designing a Relationship for the Next 25 Years - Selection

Today I'll talk about the FIRST way to Design a Relationship for the Next 25 Years.

Selection

I believe women will improve their selection process out of necessity and their desire to decrease the number of failed relationships.

Women have the ability to say yes or no to every relationship and since men are not the emotional gatekeepers, it is up to women to change the future of relationships.

Women are committed to having successful relationships, which is demonstrated in their attendant in seminars, churches and personal growth and development workshops.

They are the first to suggest therapist, counseling, or coaching.

In comparing a relationship to a house, men are focused on the mortgage and maintenance of the house, while women are focused on the interior aesthetics, or the details of the home.

Designing a Relationship for the Next 25 Years

We are in the “Relationship Transformation Era.” How would you design a relationship for the next 25 years?

It is suggested that people will live to be 125 years old; the average person will get married and divorced three times before having a successful relationship. The average age of a person who will find true love...75 years old!

In the future, relationship partners will be sorted, selected, and delivered via the Internet or ordered on EBay.

What can be done to decrease the divorce rate, reduce the number of single female parents and enhance our ability to relate to our partners?

The six ways include selection, acceptance, communication, education, commitment and change in consciousness.

I'll be discussing these over the next 2 weeks, so subscribe to this blog so you are sure to receive this valuable information!

Stepping Stones to Great Relationships

I mentioned last time that eagles don’t fly with pigeons so it's important to associate with people who have successful relationships.

How do you do that?

Take classes, learn relationship skills, acquire tools, or hire a relationship coach before you find yourself with the majority of couples who go to therapy to late or get divorce only to start over again.

Don’t be the single person who becomes resigned, full of resentment and fear around relationships.

There is no scarcity, if you’re only looking for the right one!

You can learn even more at our next teleseminar, Tuesday, May 5th at 8PM. When you register, you gain access to ALL 6 recordings of this series. This course is totally affordable and will change the way you look at relationships forever. On this call we will talk about how and where to find great dates! I hope to see you there...

Associate with People in Successful Relationships

If you look in your life, you will notice how you do anything is how you do everything.

Do you complete your journeys or do you stop in the middle of the road?

Do you have a history of failed relationships?

Do you have more friends with successful relationships or are their relationships a reflection of suffering, tolerance and conflict.

Eagles don’t fly with pigeons, associate with people who have successful relationships.

Stay tuned for more next week!

I would love to hear your comments - please post them by clicking on the word "comments" below...

Our next teleseminar is Tuesday, May 5th - I expect to see you there! Sign up now and gain access to the audio downloads of this popular course. Register here!

Having Unrealistic Expectations of Our Partner

We wouldn’t attempt to fly a plane without lessons, expect a three-years old to drive a car, or to perform brain surgery on ourselves.

Why should we have unrealistic expectations of our partners, when most of us have poor communication skills, lack authentic freedom in sexual expression, have histories of poor relationships, come from dysfunctional families and lack any semblance of competent relationship skills. All relationships are about us, not the other person.

Relationships reflect a journey of speed bumps, hairpin turns, inclines with declines, sudden slow downs, but never stop signs. You will never get to your destination, if you stop short of the goal line.

How would you ever know what it could feel like to win an Olympic gold metal, if you stop training before the competition?

More tomorrow...

Our popular relationship teleseminar series is available to you! The final call for the current series is on May 5th but you can still register and get all the audio downloads (6 in all) from our most recent series. Register here!

Consciously Selecting our Potential Partner

A conscious selection and decision about our potential partners requires delayed sexual gratification, intense investigation, and mutual attunement of shared values and visions.

Before we embark on seeking or selecting a partner we need to know who we are, what makes us happy and what would force us leave a relationship.

If we can determine and identify what would have us leave a relationship in the early stages of the relationship, those insights should prevent us from repeating patterns of despair and failure.

More tomorrow...

Sign up for our teleclass series and gain access to the audio downloads of this popular course. Our final class for this series is Tuesday, May 5th. Register here!

From Conflict to Rebirth of Love and Acceptance

If you survive the second stage of conflict, you can then be on your way to a rebirth of love and acceptance.

At this point we figure out who we are, who our partner is and how it is truly better to work together than suffer the pain of lost, starting a new relationship and not taking personal responsibility for our relationship choices.

Congratulations, you are now ready for the continuation of more power struggles, conflicts and growth!

To be continued...

Learn more about the work I do here. And register for our upcoming teleseminar class on Tuesday May 5th where we'll discuss where all the great dates are!

The Euphoric Wonderment of Romantic Relationships

All romantic relationships begin with a euphoric wonderment of fantasy.

Our expectations are unrealistic, our negative judgments are none existent, and failure is impossible. You are in the romantic stage of the relationship journey and your subconscious mind is asleep.

When we allow our subconscious mind to filter through the small and glaring imperfections of our partner, we start to notice what we failed to see or refused to see, what was always visible, our incompatibilities. This begins our fighting to be right, attempts to change our partner, lack of communication, poor sexual connection, and many other overlooked traits that destroy relationships. You are now in the conflict stage; stage two of the relationship journey or expedition! In fact this is the stage where most people separate or get divorced.

Stay tuned for more on this subject! In the meantime, visit Melvin and Sherrie.com and sign up for our Teleclass seminar series. The final call is Tuesday May 5th, but you can still receive all the recordings from the previous 5 calls! Register today!

Relationships Are Like Gardens

Relationships are like gardens, teeth, and children they require care and maintenance. If you don’t want your teeth, or if you feel brushing is too much daily work, stop and you will pay for your ignorance with pain and money.

We never partner with people we hate, but with someone we love, respect and admire. We live in a world of disposable products and relationships; an investment in a healthy partnership requires time, money and energy to learn about the reality of relationships.

We will continue this discussion next time...
