The fact is: one of the first mistakes many members of a couple make is in labeling their relationship and/or partner. We've all heard people calling their partner's names, labeling them as 'jerks', 'control freaks', or worse, and calling their relationships 'a nightmare' or that it feels like 'a prison.' Well, one of the first steps in saving a marriage is stopping all of this identification with labels.
After all, how can you begin to build a happier, healthier relationship if your self-talk is still standing firm on how awful they are to you?
Instead of me giving all my views right now on the similarities I see to the process of changing and awakening our relationships to chapter two of this book... how about if you make comments on it here or in the forum so we can talk further about it.

( 3 / 703 )Dear Friends,
As a Family & Relationship Coach for almost ten years now... and as a woman, mother, daughter, sister, friend, ex-wife, ex-girlfriend, and who knows what else... I know that falling in love with someone is easy, yet keeping the love going strong on a daily basis in a long-term relationship, whether that means your marriage, parent-child, or even your sister-sister relationship, is not easy!
It requires great effort, and self-awareness more than other-awareness and skills! Whatever your relationships are at this time in your life, I'm willing to bet that a little help with some personality-based living hints would come in handy.
Imagine filling out a simple multiple choice form and finally 'getting' why s/he thinks and behaves the way they do... and why it annoys you! The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator does just that. It not only identifies common areas of difference that can cause mis-communications and conflict, it provides a non-judgmental, neutral language for discussing misunderstandings and irritations, so that we can begin creating a gentler flow in the relationship. After all, more harmony and a better understanding of each other is what we all want in our relationships, isn't it?
Couples, individuals, families, work teams, ...anyone can make constructive use of their differences with the help of an MBTI analysis.
Let me know if you're interested. Or, if you've had it done, let me know what you thought of it - did it help your relationship?
Talk soon,
Sharon Shenker
