Challenge: Love your partner this week in a way that they really feel it. Make him/her feel special and important. Do the little things- notes, extra touches or some small services (hopefully you know the things that work for your partner). I challenge you to do it so much this week, that your partner says "what is going on?" And, when they do just say "I am working on loving you better. How am I doing?" Let us know what happens...

This is a continuation of our YouTube FamLead video, which explores what happens to couples in conflict and how awareness of one's emotional state can create stability and safety in the relationship. Question is...how do the two of you create safety in your relationship through emotional regulation? What does that look like in your relationship? Too personal? It's okay, we're all FamLead family here!

COUPLES!!! How have you learned to "turn your heart" to your partner when feeling upset with them? I'll go first. One of the ways I turn my heart to Shayne is by considering Shayne's mom and how much she loves him, and how she would want her son to be taken care of and loved. Then I think about my sons and how I would want them to be loved by their spouses. Full circle back to me, I ask myself, "Am I showing Shayne care the way I would want my sons to be cared for? Am I taking care of my mother-in-law's son the way she would want him to be cared for? And finally...Am I caring for Shayne the way HE has asked me to care for him? Your turn!
