The Three Magic Words in Relationship: By Dr. Janine Burns

Do you know the three magic words for a successful relationship? Hint: it’s not: “I love you.”

Good listening skills are the key to a rewarding relationship. We all want to be “seen” and heard and acknowledged. The ability to put the focus on another and take yourself out of the equation is a great skill that goes a long way in offering respect and compassion when communicating.

Sometimes when someone wants to talk to us, we try to remedy whatever issue they may be having. We can be so full of advice and opinions and preconceived judgments. What this tells the other person is that you really just don’t want to hear whatever they are dealing with or what they have to say.

To invite good communication, it’s important to be an “Active Listener.”* One of the best ways to do so is by offering the three magic words in relationship: “Tell me more.” Those three words are golden! By inviting someone to “tell me more” you demonstrate interest and that you care.

Utilizing this powerful tool will make the other person feel heard and understood. In offering “tell me more” you demonstrate compassion and humility. Try it today and you will be amazed at how good you feel by making another feel valued and worthwhile.

Cheers,
Dr. Burns

So easy to work with and makes your days special

Dr. Janine Burns was so wonderful from the moment we first reached out to her until the day of our wedding. She works with you to create a beautiful ceremony on your special day. She did a wonderful job incorporating my son and tailored the entire thing to our wants and needs. She was such a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an Officiant for their wedding.

Meta, please see below. This was written by me Rev. Dr. Janine Burns. How To Avoid the Post-Wedding Blues: The Post-Wedding Blues (PWB) can happen when you’ve gotten overly wrapped up in and put a lot of time, attention, effort and focus upon the details, planning, and ex*****on of your wedding celebration. It’s not surprising because the average wedding takes more than two hundred and fifty (Yes! 250) hours to plan.
Due to your intense, and perhaps even extreme, focus upon the outcome of your wedding day, when your special day has come and gone, you could feel bummed out or as if you are in a tail spin. You might feel as if you are in mourning and actually you could be, because this experience can be what is considered an “unacknowledged loss.” Symptoms include feelings of exhaustion both mentally and physically; poor sleep states; feeling tightness in the chest area or throat; digestive upset. Emotionally you could feel relieved and empty at the same time; you could feel sadness and yearning for an elusive ‘something.’
To avoid the PWB and feeling down after your wedding, it’s imperative to keep a balance in your life during the planning process. Be sure to have other tasks and goals that you can focus upon while you are also managing your wedding planning. It is essential to have some “we time” with your fiance’. Perhaps you could go to the gym together; spend time in nature; go dancing; cook together; find some special activity to share. Then, when the wedding day has passed, you won’t be walking around in a daze with no responsibilities, goals or dreams to focus upon.
Keep in mind good self-care, which includes scheduling time to engage in creativity, fun, and relaxation. Avoid sweets and be sure to get sufficient sleep and exercise. Take time for meditation or breathing exercises.
Make a commitment to yourself and your spouse to stay in the present moment as much as possible. Don’t get involved in too much “futur-izing” and worrying that your wedding day must be perfect.
Be determined that you are going to have an awesome wedding day! Then on your special day remain focused upon the man or woman of your dreams! Relish the excellent time shared with beloved family and cherished friends. And, that’s really what a wedding is all about: celebrating the connection of love with all those around you! Enjoy the process of getting married! Dr. Janine Burns

My bride did a lot of our wedding planning. It was my job to find the officiant. I had brief phone conversations with a few local people, but I ended up choosing Dr. Burns because she told me how she could help me de-stress. I got through the ceremony and standing up in front of all those people and...
