Guiding Principle, Quote or Mantra
It’s a both/and world. It is both the way you say it is AND the way I say it is.
How many irreconcilable differences to you think married couples have? Arielle shares with us what research has found about this.
When You Tripped Up
As a first time bride at 44 years of age, Arielle realized she had no partnership skills. What she was really good at was being the boss and telling people what to do.
She had no idea that a masculine operating man was not interested in being told what to do. This is a great story.
What she learned is that marriage really is a place to heal all your childhood wounds.
The “DUH” moment that changed your partnerships forever
Arielle believed that the proper way to squeeze a tube of toothpaste is from the bottom up. Her husband is very different.
Several times a day she would have negative, judgmental thoughts about her husband because of this.
So she had a conversation with the tube of toothpaste and it changed everything. Listen to this…
Proudest moment in partnership
When shortly after her husband, Brian, had attended one of her talks, he applied what she taught at the event.

About the author, Ken
I am the producer and host of Speaking of Partnership, a podcast that was inspired by a life of wearing the badge of self-sufficiency and independence proudly, until I realized it wasn't really a badge...it was armor.
My passion is helping you experience the power and payoffs of partnership by understanding and appreciating the opposite sex so you can feel safe, confident and understood in your personal, professional and family partnerships.
