“Just being open to communicating and proactive in our relationship really made sure we didn’t get to those breaking points.”
— Kat
This is the third episode of my limited Sandbox Spotlight series, which features interviews with real-life couples talking about their real-life experiences navigating the four relationship seasons, developing better communication skills, and deepening their connection.
If you haven’t listened to my episodes on the relationship seasons, I recommend you check them out first!
My guests for this episode are Kat and Brad, who have been together for four years and are raising their one-year-old and Brad’s eight-year-old son.
While Kat and Brad are currently in the Connected season, they were recently in the Coping season due to numerous life events that happened over the last year, including the loss of Brad’s mother, the birth of their new baby, and Brad’s job being transformed to work-from-home — three very impactful events.
Being home together for 24 hours each day with a newborn could have been a huge challenge for the two of them. Proactively using the tools they learned through the Couple’s Sandbox community helped them avoid breaking points, and Kat credits their desire to be happy together as a major motivation to work together to address issues.
In this interview, Kat and Brad talk about being proactive in taking care of their relationship, how they dealt with Brad work-from-home shift, and how listening to other couples has helped to deepen their own connection.
In this episode of Couplehood, you’ll discover:
“There’s nothing wrong with the season that you’re in and we can move forward together.”
