Should Relationships Take Work?
I’m just going to cut right to the chase here and say, yes, of course relationships take work! The question is, what is the kind of work you are doing, and what kind of relationship are you in? We’ve all heard people say before things like, “relationships shouldn’t be this hard” or “it shouldn’t take this much work”. And in certain contexts, I absolutely agree. In this episode, let’s take a look at different kinds of relationships where it is worth it to put in the work, what kind of work it takes, and the relationships where it’s not worth it. There are going to be hard times in any relationship, but they can be better issues that aren’t as hard when you find your person.
If you are listening to this podcast, I think you want to put in work, with the right person. If you are having a hard time deciding on reasons to stay or reasons to go, this is the exact thing I help my clients within my group coaching program, Stop Wanting Him Back and Find Someone Better. Or, for a limited time, I am again offering my 60-video course, with the same title as this podcast and as my group coaching program. With this course, you get lifetime access to the videos.
