Episode 60: 8 Ways to Make Better Decisions as a Couple

Hello, hi! It's a favourite series here on the pod today with an episode featuring my husband Nick, who I affectionately call Handsome Face. In this episode we deconstruct our experience making big decisions together: what works for us and the things we hope will help you to make big decisions in your own partnerships. Here's a breakdown of our advice:

1. Be Open to your Partners' stance

2. Be Honest about your Feelings and Talk A LOT

3. Examine the Pros and Cons TOGETHER (this will have different meaning for each partner)

4. Consider the Long Term Effects and consider the outcomes of your decision on each other over time

5. Talk about it, Talk again, then Talk some more (Take your time)

6. Dig Deep (trust your gut and/or do your research)

7. Don't take yourself too seriously - the decision isn't more important than your marriage

8. Seek Genuine Agreement over one partner conceding or taking defeat to benefit the other partner
