Being married to a couples coach sounds great, doesn’t it? 😂
You’d think my husband gets the very best version of me. Calm, patient, emotionally intelligent, brilliant at communicating…
Unfortunately for him, he also gets the version of me who’s tired, hungry, irrationally annoyed about the dishwasher and occasionally forgets every single thing I teach other people about relationships.
Because knowing how to have a healthy relationship and actually putting it into practice are two very different things.
I still get defensive. I still say things I regret. I still have moments when I’d rather be right than connected.
The difference isn’t that we never get it wrong. It’s that we’re learning to recognise it, take responsibility and repair when we do.
Turns out even couples coaches have to practise what they preach. Much to my husband disappointment 😂
