If you want a healthy marriage/relationship you need to learn how to ATTUNE to your spouse. That means...

A - awareness of the other person's emotions
T - turning toward (not away from) their emotions
T - tolerance for differing viewpoints
U - seek to understand their perspective
N - non-defensive listening and responding
E - empathy for their emotions and experience

As a husband and a marriage counselor I estimate I eat my own cooking about 85%-90% of the time. My wife agrees with my estimate. I have room to improve, but I've also come a long way in almost 20 years with my wife.

How would you rate your ability to ATTUNE?

Can you Forgive? - Yes! ✅

Can you Forget - It's possible, but it's not likely. 🤔

The solution? - 💊 If and when you think about the event, remind yourself you chose to forgive this person because you want to live a healthier, more joyful life where you hold on to the best parts of who you are.

Good afternoon! :)

As I mentioned yesterday, I’m taking a small group of people through a 2-hour workshop THIS THURSDAY to teach them how to repair trust and resolve conflict in their marriage or relationship.

I’ve been getting some great questions about The Love Is Free, Trust Is Earned Workshop… so here are some answers:

❓Who is the workshop for?

✅This workshop is for any couple committed to making their marriage or relationship last a lifetime.

❓What does it involve exactly?

✅It's a 2-hour online class where I will teach you how to rebuild trust, resolve conflicts peacefully, understand and work with both solvable and difficult problems, get through gridlocked conflicts in your relationship, and use "Power Phrases" to get a conversation back on track

❓Who is this workshop NOT for?

✅This couples enrichment workshop is NOT a substitute for couples therapy. Couples experiencing abuse, untreated addiction, untreated severe mental illness, or fallout from a recent affair should consult with Jim Urban, LMHC or another licensed counselor about enrolling in couples therapy.

❓Can I attend alone?

✅Yes you can! By strengthening your boundaries and improving your communication you can be a force for positive change in your relationship. We often have participants join us whose spouse or partner is either unavailable for the workshop or aren't yet interested in working to improve the relationship.

Have other questions? Just reply and ask us!

Remember, enrollment will close Thursday at 5pm. Get in while you can!

Just as a reminder, THIS THURSDAY I’m taking a small group of people through a 2-hour class in order to teach them how to resolve conflicts peacefully, protect themselves with better boundaries, and communicate their needs more effectively.

The good news is we are now officially OPEN!

The bad news is we are limiting the enrollment period to just 4 days.

So, if you want to finally understand how to set boundaries in a marriage and have a closer relationship, without making the fatal mistakes so many make (like being too controlling, issuing ultimatums, or creating distance with your spouse)...
..then, I highly recommend that you click here and secure your spot now.

I’m doing it! (details below)

Hi Friends,

Hope you've had a great week. 🙂

As you may recall, I’m thinking of hosting a live 1-day workshop in order to teach you how and when to set boundaries in marriages.

As strange as it may sound, boundaries actually help the love and closeness increase, not decrease!

Well, after much thought and feedback from you…

I’m doing it!

Here’s what I can tell you right now:

I’m calling this workshop THE LOVE IS FREE, TRUST IS EARNED WORKSHOP

This workshop will be held NEXT Thursday June 20th at 7pm

I’ll be hosting this workshop LIVE on Zoom

You’ll be able to register for the workshop starting this Sunday

I’m SO excited about this!

If you’ve ever wanted to figure out how to use boundaries to strengthen your marriage without making the most common mistakes, then this workshop is for YOU!

Talk Soon,
Jim
