In this episode, Justin and his wife Kathryn discuss:
- [08.32] Their parenting strategies. Kathryn points out the
benefits of creating behavior charts to provide clear boundaries
and encourage good behavior. She reveals that she has recently
started using a weekly chart to set her daughter simple tasks,
teach her how to be kind and bring a sense of structure and routine
to her life.
- [18.39] Identifying their personality types. Justin and Kathryn
discuss the results of the Enneagram tests to determine their
dominant personality type. They are both Enneagram enthusiasts and
believe studying their types has helped them to become more aware
of certain aspects of their characters and made it easier for them
to understand and relate to each other.
- [28.44] The advantages of taking some space to step back from
an argument. The couple share their individual approaches to
resolving conflict. Justin likes to talk things through, even when
emotions are running high, but Kathryn prefers to distance herself
from the drama and let the tension diffuse.
- [36.38] Mindful conversations. Justin encourages us to be more
conscious of the words we use. He reminds us to think before we
speak and consider if what we are about to say is kind, necessary
and true.
- [45.29] Learning their love languages. Justin reviews The Five
Love Languages, a book for couples who want to strengthen their
bond by finding out what their partner values most in their
relationship and working out how to best fulfill their
needs.
