7 dumbest relationship mistakes

BE SMART

When I read this list I realize that the two things a couple can focus on are honest, vulnerable communication and remembering to stay romantically connected as a couple.

It’s horrifying when you realize how much of what you say is not your truth. And it’s liberating to begin speaking your truth, especially to your partner.

HONESTY

Brad Blanton’s book, Practicing Radical Honesty, will illuminate the trance you’re living under and being radically honest isn’t as scary as it sounds. Baby steps, my friend.

Practicing Radical Honesty

Once you become truly honest with each other and stop walking on eggshells, you relationship will be much more interesting and intimate. The hardest part about being honest is admitting our own foibles such as pettiness, jealousy, insecurity and those other deadly feelings that pluck at our core fears. Our core fears came from our childhood experiences and we can rise above them once we become aware that they are creating reactions that don’t jibe with how we want to be in the world with our partner and in general. Core fears are feelings of inadequacy, rejection, insignificance, abandonment and other feelings we hate to feel. Once we realize we can sustain the sensation of those fears, that they are triggers and we, along with our partner, can get right with them, the benefits of honest relating supplant and minimize those fears. Honesty is the salve for our existential wounds. So open up, be vulnerable and own your fears. That’s all they are… just feelings. And your partner can help you see clear of them once you identify them. So move toward being as honest as you can and watch your relationship become much more rewarding and supportive.

ROMANCE

Romance is the action of focusing on making her feel your love — both emotional and physical —because this feeling strengthens the bond between lovers, connecting you together through your hearts. Romancing your partner is a gift you give yourself too. Keeping score is fruitless — love is immeasurable. And it doesn’t matter if, at first, you do “all the work” of romancing your partner. Keep at it and soon they will be romancing you back. Because romance is simply irresistible.

The more you give, the more you’ll get. Start giving freely and you’ll see that more of your day is love-filled, sweet and happy. Teach your partner how to love you back in ways you most enjoy. Romantic gestures range from subtle flirting to outright seduction to vulnerable declarations of love.

Tell your lover explicitly the joy you get from romancing them. That you don’t do it to get anything, you do it for the pleasure of seeing them thrill to your advances. This joy you generate will naturally evolve into more opportunities for sexual intimacy.

Get into the present time when you are being romantic. Move toward being right in the moment with your lover, fully present. Try to let go of your absolute plan for a romantic encounter and just go with the flow of their reactions. That way whatever you do will feel natural instead of forced or pre-planned. Leave some space for spontaneity in the creation of your romantic plans.
