Sometimes we have all the skills in place but something is still missing.
That was me my first few years married. I listened to the shiurim, I had the vision---but something was off.
Either I was playing the part of "good wife" and felt totally robotic (in my mind, being "good wife" meant majorly turning down the volume on my emotional and creative side) or I'd be myself--and drop all my newly learned skills.
The secret, as I discuss with this week's podcast guest, Miriam Campbell, is for us to USE the skills for a greater purpose. (This is true in any relationship.)
Active listening isn't a goal, it's a tool. Saying supportive things isn't a goal, it's a tool.
When we focus on the greater objective (connection!), we can use the tools in an authentic way.
And...there's a lot more to it. Definitely check out this week's podcast for the rest. 🙂
