Become a dream detective in your relationship

Ann from Relationship Wellbeing Specialist

If you're gridlocked on an issue in your marriage, big or small, you need to identify the dreams that aren't being met.

Whenever the dream or hope or aspiration for the relationship is ignored, problems arise. But when those dreams are revealed and understood and respected, it creates space for the relationship to become more meaningful than the problem.

Become a dream detective. Ask open-ended questions like "What does this mean for you" and "Is there a story behind your position on this issue?"

Acknowledging and respecting each other’s deepest, most personal hopes and dreams is the key to enriching your marriage.

Question: What is one of your partner's dreams?
