248. How to Make Happier Joint Decisions with Your Partner (in 5 Easy Steps)

When you’re single, you get to make 100% of your decisions, from what color you paint your bedroom to how much you spend on eating out every week. But if you want to make a long-term, committed relationship work, the majority of your decisions now need to be shared because just about every decision you make affects your partner.

Today we’re putting all that in the past because you’re about to learn my five steps to making happier joint decisions with your partner so you can walk away feeling like a loving team.  ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/how-to-make-happier-joint-decisions-with-your-partner-in-5-easy-steps Grab my FREE List of Collaborative Questions: https://abbymedcalf.com/collabques Have you subscribed to my YouTube Channel yet?
