Reforming mean girl Christine Cooper says that with reflection and practice, we can become better communicators and forge deeper connections with friends, coworkers, and others we come in contact with. Cooper, the author of Finding Value: A Reforming Mean Girl's Guide for Creating More Meaningful Connections, says better communication and connection starts with self-reflection and then a willingness to explore and celebrate the differences in others. Everyone, she says, has a superpower. When we take time to understand what they are, people feel valued and that leads to better connection.

Did you know that defensiveness not only causes a cortisol spike, but also releases the powerful enzyme aromatase, and that has an effect on testosterone? In this show, we're hearing some more reflections from John Gray—one of my favorite podcast guests ever who always brings the most profound insights—about how to avoid breaking up and instead, reconnect with your partner. You will learn the most common causes that lead to breakups, why marriage statistics are not reliable, what to do when your partner is not happy, and why sexual desire is our strongest drive and of top importance in our relationship. You will also hear great, effective tips for making communication easier with your partner, like how John advises women to “express everything as a preference” since most men just want to be your hero, and as John explains, we have to realize that we are most vulnerable with people we are closest to and most humans don't like criticism in general. You will also learn what phrase is usually the man's signal to cease the talking (which, if it continues, will cause the man to get defensive—and this poses problems as it causes a cortisol spike which releases aromatase, and this causes testosterone to convert to estrogen!).  If you are single or in a relationship, you don't want to miss this show—you will learn so much that will positively affect your relationships, like why you should never try to change the other person, and why you should never make continued requests or demands, why John says to never speak when you have a negative emotional charge (as a man, but this is good advice for all), and more!   TIMESTAMPS: Some of the major causes of relationship breakups are suppressed emotions and communication problems. [00:49] Keep yourself happy.  Do not depend on your partner to make you happy. [03:39] Ideally, the man wants to feel like the hero, the guy who can come through for the partner and family. [04:55] It works better when women express things as a preference and compliment your partner for doing things. [08:53] It is man's basic nature to solve problems so if you just want him to listen, you need to say that. [09:47] If a man says, “I hear you,” that is the signal for the woman to stop talking. [10:45] Don't try to change the other person. Many women are unaware of how controlling they are. [15:33] Men: never speak with a negative emotional charge and learn how to make a graceful exit. [19:51] Men can take the time away to reflect on their contribution and see what triggers there are. [21:41] Learn to validate the women's challenges. [29:46] What techniques can the male learn to deal with emotional disturbances or relationship conflict? Number one: live your life so you don't have to say “I'm sorry” so often. [30:43] You don't have to get defensive, men. Execute the desired behavior.  It doesn't mean you are caving in. [32:32] You must understand relationships as a 80-20 proposition. [36:52] The number one most attractive thing a partner can do is watching your partner excel from a distance. [39:39] Remind yourself there are times when it's not your problem to solve, but you can be supportive. [41:00] Sex spikes testosterone.

We received this via email: "I read the book The Untethered Soul and I understood that the main idea is letting go of our thoughts and just feeling the emotions and letting them be. Realising some kind of detachment to them.  But I've found it really difficult to do that. I get stuck in some thoughts in my head regarding my husband... I have arguments in my mind with him... I've tried to not engage in my thoughts and let them go, but I haven't succeeded. I think because they are not assumptions but based on previous experiences... I don't talk to anybody about this, but I hope by sharing this that you can help me let go. I have small children and I'm trying to homeschool while needing to do everything else at home. My husband works full-time and doesn't help much at home. This would be fine, but because I struggle to keep the house clean he is not happy with me. He says he feels that I disrespect him because I don't keep the house tidy when in reality it's because I struggle at keeping it clean. I want to be more capable of doing everything in the home and I've been trying so hard yet it's not enough. The thing is, mess is a daily thing so it's become a source of stress and anxiety now for me and I don't want to live like this. It's affecting how I'm with the kids too. And I've become more cold and resentful towards my husband because he doesn't want to be more intimate with me because he doesn't feel respected and I can't get this out of my mind and it affects me because I crave intimacy. This is the hardest part. I feel so lonely even though I'm married.  I realise this is not helpful. I know he is stressed from work. I just feel that nothing I do is good enough for him. He blames me for things. He is also a very anxious person. When he gets angry he brings up stuff from ten years ago. I don't speak much, because I don't want to ‘say the wrong thing'.  I just feel stuck. I feel like I don't know how to let the thoughts flow, but I really want to, because it's all I can think about... I realise I'm not enjoying life. But because the lack of intimacy is so difficult I find it so hard to let go.  I've never said this to anyone, but I just really want to change and live without being stuck and being able to live more happy and at peace, because it also affects how I behave towards my kids.  I know being stuck in these thoughts won't make my situation any better, it's only making it worse. But it's been something I've struggled with for years and I've had enough. And now that I know there is a way out, I'm reaching out for help." Thank you for this open vulnerability! I understand and relate to these feelings. We all want to feel close and connected to our spouse. It is possible when you have the right tools. In this episode, we share specific practices you can use to: let go and process negative and intense emotions help your spouse process their negative emotions have more understanding of the differences between men and women which are causing conflict in your relationship understand your spouse's desires, needs, and points of view help your spouse understand your desires, needs, and points of view move past points of conflict and gain more intimacy as a couple get 'unstuck' when relationship drama is keeping you from focusing on the kids, the home, work, or other projects find inner peace and more effective ways to communicate with your spouse RESOURCES: #262 Improve Communication with Your Spouse & Process Emotions to Build an Extraordinary Life & Marriage Get Rachel's ⁠⁠Family Systems & Charts⁠⁠ Join the ⁠⁠28-Day Challenge⁠⁠ for Moms Rachel's ⁠⁠Must-Read Booklist for Well-Read Moms⁠⁠ ⁠Greg's ⁠⁠Recommended Reading List for Parents & Youth⁠⁠ Join the ⁠⁠Be The Man Coaching & Tribe⁠⁠ Download the ⁠⁠⁠Be The Man app on iOS⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠Android⁠⁠ Take the ⁠⁠⁠Be The Man 7-Day Challenge.⁠⁠⁠ Follow us on Instagram: ⁠@worldschoolfamily⁠ or ⁠@greg.denning⁠ Gather with us at the ⁠World School Family (Beach & Farm) Resort⁠ in Portugal --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/extraordinary-family-life/message

This week's awesome questions come from wives asking, "What do you do when your spouse tells you that you need to get a backbone and manage your own emotions when you tell him that the demeaning way he looks at you is hurtful during a disagreement? He is only trying to give me a firm "no" in response to something I wanted to discuss, but the way he looked at me was cold and intense...it's so hard to describe. So I was trying to communicate to him that he can still disagree but do it in a pleasant, loving manner. I know he's super defensive because of feeling like he's admitted in the past to owning up to his stuff, but it almost sounds like he thinks now he shouldn't have to do it anymore because he's done it so much. I bought 'The Empowered Wife' book which you recommend and want to read it, but I'm trying to finish up some other books first, and I hope that book has some answers... But do you guys have any thoughts for me?? My first line of defense is to shut off and not discuss the situation cause he just goes around in circles and he thinks I need to change and I think he needs to just be aware that his nonverbal language is real, but he literally thinks he did nothing wrong. I know I can change the way I react and think about it, but those cold looks don't encourage more open discussion for me. Maybe I just let it go and hope that part of our relationship changes over time. Maybe it has to do with his current stress levels and on and on. Honestly, I thought those kinds of stares were behind us so I guess they can still resurface during times of stress or if he's tired etc." We've all been there at some point! And this excellent topic is so important for spouses to work through if you want to grow closer and build a relationship that can build the life of your dreams.
