Oh, another football season? I won’t see my spouse for another six months? Please don’t let this be you. I know, football is awesome. I love it. Most of us love it. The crisp air. The getting together with friends. Fantasy football. It’s fun. Unstuffed. To make sure that your spousal and couple relationship isn’t left in the dust with the season at the end of the year. This means taking time to let your loved one know that they are the real game. They are, are the person that you care about most, connect with them. Also take time to listen to them, even though it might seem a little annoying at first. Oh no, I’m gonna have to miss a game or not hang out with my friends. As I work with couples, there is compromise. We just have to learn to listen, to connect, and to be able to really understand what’s at the heart of the matter. And what is typically at the heart of the matter is, that feeling that our special person really cares for others or connect. Being with a game more than us. We know that’s not true, so prove it to them, take the time, listen, and compromise. In this way, even though Joe Burrow might be out again, you won’t be left on- the sidelines. Alright, have a wonderful football season and remember here at Clear Path Counseling, we are here to help you, so don’t be afraid to give us a call when you need it. Take care. Bye.
