Geoff Laughton, two time national best selling author, and Your Relationship Architect was one of my men's group leaders for a year and is always a good friend of the podcast. He returns for the third time to discuss when is the best time for a couple to reach out for help from a neutral party during conflict. We also dig deep into how conflict in a safe container can be a good thing to bring growth, what to do when you or your partner is making work more important than your partnership, and how to turn around a bad movie date! Lastly, we get to the bottom of what women qualities they really want in their partnership and the 3 signs couples should look for in their relationship to know it's the right time to reach out for counseling or coaching.

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17 New International Version (NIV) This bible verse resonates with me because in our tough times in modern America, men need a positive reminder that getting together in groups can and will build stronger identity and relationships. A local Denver men's group, The Evolving Man, that I have mentioned that I am a member of a few times on the podcast was begun by Geoff Laughton who believes that men are held back in relationships for fear that they'll be found out to be some kind of fraud. Geoff is a two time national best selling author of Building a Conflict Proof Relationship and Built to Last both are available at yourrelationshiparchitect.com.

His mission is helping people be fully comfortable in their own skin & power using their relationship with self and other as the incubator.

Speaking of Partnership: Personal Stories of the Power and Payoffs of Partnership
Geoff Laughton, known as Your Relationship Architect, is an internationally best-selling author, speaker, men's retreat leader, and sought after relationship coach. For more than 20 years, he’s been teaching couples and individuals how to build the relationship and life they truly desire. In a world where far too many people settle for what they believe they can get, Geoff is devoted to teaching how to have love relationships that expand connection, healing, and create harmony with those dreams that people have simply neglected and/or forgotten. Guiding Principle, Quote or Mantra Geoff’s guiding principle is that relationship is cutting edge spiritual practice. When things get tough this reminds him that his relationship with his wife Sarah is a way they connect with spirit. “The truth will set you free, but first it may piss you off!” Telling the truth almost always creates breathing room that feels like freedom. When You Tripped Up Take a trip back to 1999 when Geoff and his wife had just moved to Colorado. His consulting contract suddenly disappeared. And this caused a great deal of anxiety, fear and upset. He was experiencing his worst fear. He kept all the emotional stuff to himself and did not talk to his wife and family about it. Geoff was trying to look like he had it handled. He got to the point where on Christmas day 1999, he decided it was time to go. The notes were written and he was ready to take himself out because to Geoff he was failing at what a good man was. As he was getting ready to do it while his wife and son were still asleep, something told him that if he does this, he fails the test. The test of faith. He called one of the two people he knew in this town and they told him to get his family up and get over to her house now! They spent about 5 hours together on Christmas day working this out. Apologizing to his wife for how he had failed her changed everything. Proudest moment in partnership Geoff’s awareness of what he has in his marriage is one of his proudest moments. When she looks in his eyes and their love never has dissipated in all their years together. One day Sarah looked him in the eye when he told her he was terrified to make the career leap into coaching and with 100% authenticity said… “Why can’t you get that I would rather live under a freeway in a refrigerator box and have you, than live in a nice house with plenty of money and have you be miserable.” Geoff let this in and gave him the courage he needed to go after his dreams. This mature love he received from Sarah helped to mature Geoff. What is the best partnership / relationship advice you have ever received? When the shit hits the fan and you’re playing victim and blaming your partner, it is never about them. If you love your partner, that love won’t fix everything. But if its there, you might as well find the pathway to work it out. Because if you don’t work it out and you end the relationship, you are virtually guaranteed to repeat the same pattern in your next relationships. You are 100% responsible for your experience and how you are rolling with it or not.
