Learning to Balance Power and Intimacy in Relationships
RELATIONAL SUCCESS
Online Marriage and Relationship Courses
Many of us struggle in our relationships with the people we love. Why do we keep having the same disagreements? What helps us feel happy, fulfilled, and connected?
Relational Success begins with a simple idea: every relationship needs both Power and Intimacy. I have used this concept for more than 25 years, both in my work with couples and in my own life.
Power helps us protect ourselves, have a voice, make choices, establish boundaries, and influence what happens in our lives. Intimacy helps us connect, trust, care, cooperate, and feel valued and cared for by others.
Power and Intimacy move in complementary, opposite directions. As Power goes up, Intimacy goes down, and as Intimacy goes up, Power goes down. They are like oil and vinegar in the salad of life. Too much of one can overpower the flavor of the other. The key is learning to balance these two needs.
Where do you fall on the balance between Power and Intimacy?
The first step is discovering how you use Power and Intimacy in your relationships. From there, you can begin learning how to create greater balance in yourself and in your relationships.
The Relational Success courses help you identify your learned relational styles, understand how they influence your relationships, and practice tools for changing unbalanced relational patterns.
Begin with Foundations to understand yourself, then continue with Practical Tools to apply what you’ve learned. Study on your own or alongside your spouse, at your own pace, with unlimited access.
