Summary: <p><strong>You'll never have the partnership you want if you continue to see your partner as a project.</strong></p><p><strong>You'll never be loved when your partner wants to fix or change you.</strong></p><p><strong>BIG PROBLEMS! </strong></p><br><p>The three essential elements in a healthy relationship all need equal consideration for their well-being: 2 Me's and 1 WE! Too often, those elements are not considered equally. Each "ME" wants the floor, and the "WE" takes a constant back seat. That won't work because it will all be a struggle--a <strong>power struggle</strong>. That creates tension and stress which produce anxiety. No one does well when those things are prevalent! </p><br><p>Today's topic highlights an<strong> underlying issue in relationships in distress:</strong> one partner sees their partner as a project. </p><br><p>Remember Episode 115 about the 3 MUST-HAVES For a Healthy Adult Relationship? If not, I invite you listen to that episode. If you did, you'll remember that one MUST-HAVE is equality. That's simply not present when you think you have the right to "fix" your partner. </p><br><p>Your partner cannot be a partner when you are treating them like a project. Take stock now. What's going on in your relationship? </p><br><p>I'm always here to help. </p><p>Big hugs!</p><p>Rhoberta</p><br><p><strong>HIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY'S EPISODE:</strong></p><ul> <li><strong>Why relationships don't work when one partner wants to change the other</strong></li> <li><strong>The essential three entities in a relationship</strong></li> <li><strong>Why you lose respect for your partner</strong></li> <li>3 big problems that trying to fix your partner creates for you</li> <li>5 damaging thoughts that destroy relationships</li> <li>6 things that need to happen to make a relationship healthy</li> </ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Want clarity, insights, strategies, and support from me, Dr. Rhoberta Shaler?
