Surely the creation story in Genesis 1 and 2 has something to offer. I think it does--but maybe not what I was taught growing up. Perhaps the Garden of Eden has something big and bold to offer us.

How to develop relationship resilience in less than 1 minute Brian Murphy 2024-05-03 | It’s easy to listen when my partner says nice things about me. When he’s got an update that makes me happy. Warm feelings are fun.It’s so much harder to listen when he’s frustrated at me. When he has feelings i don’t understand. When he wants something different than me. It’s harder to share my own feelings when I’m scared of them. When it feels super vulnerable. When I’m worried my feelings might hurt his feelings.I learned from Esther Perez that “research tells us we have the capacity to listen for 10 seconds when someone tells us something we don’t agree with. That’s 3 sentences.”But listening when it’s hard is a skill that can be practiced.One of my roles as a relationship coach is to slow down conversations. When conversations get tough, when feelings get uncomfortable, it’s VERY tempting to switch to explaining, justifying, or problem-solving. But doing so robs you of the opportunity to listen and be present.So I’ll make sure you REALLY understand what he said. I’ll help you understand what he did (and just as importantly DIDN’T say). I’ll get you to pay attention to the 84397 assumptions you just made about what he said MEANS or what he THINKS (but didn’t say).You CAN practice listening for longer. And the longer you’re able to listen, the more present you’re able to be with the tough conversations? The more resilient your relationship.Want to strengthen and deepen your relationship?

The best open relationship advice Ive gotten with @Multiamory Brian Murphy 2023-12-08 | There is one relationship advice podcast I’ve listened to more than any other (like, 10x more than any other) and that’s Multiamory. I appreciate that they combine their understanding of relationship research and trainings PLUS their own personal experiences PLUS the experiences of their clients and community. Their podcast is chock full of relationship wisdom and really interesting interviews.While the podcast started out focused on polyamory, over the years they’ve broadened their scope to focus on healthy practices for relationships of all types (one of the hosts has been in a monogamous relationship for years now).That’s the thing: what it takes to have a thriving open or polyamorous relationship is also what it takes to have a thriving monogamous relationships. It’s just that it’s easier for monogamous folks to neglect that work because society is structured around keeping them together. So, I was stoked when Dedeker, Emily, and Jase (the hosts of Multiamory) sent me an advance copy of their book to read and asked to come on my YouTube channel to talk about it. The book is SO GOOD.Enjoy!Buy the Multiamory book on Amazon (amzn.to/486UuCi), Bookshop (bit.ly/41gkk4u)See what folks are saying about the Multiamory book and find other places to get it at: multiamory.com/book❓Are you and your boyfriend on the same page?

Youre not ACTUALLY sharing your feelings if you say this... Brian Murphy 2022-07-20 | "Everyone knows" that it's important to talk about you're feelings when you're in a relationship.BUT just because you start a sentence with "I feel..." doesn't mean that what you're about to describe is actually a feeling.If you're saying "I feel LIKE" or "I feel THAT," what follows is almost certainly not a feeling.It might be...⛔️ Metaphor ("I feel like I’m going to explode")⛔️ Observation ("I feel that you were late")⛔️ Judgement ("I feel like you don’t care about me")⛔️ Analysis ("I feel you're cheating on me")Those are useful but not feelings (I'll share more on what to do with metaphors, observations, and judgements in another video)So if you find yourself saying (or wanting to say) “I feel like…” or “I feel that…”Keep going! What’s the feeling underneath that? When you get there, no one can argue with it. Your partner can sit with you in it. It doesn’t have to be justified or denied… it just is. And then once you know the feeling, you can work on soothing it, decide how to respond to it, and work on cultivating a new feeling. Can’t quite figure out you're feeling? I made a big ole list of feelings. Sometimes I need to look at the list to help me narrow in on what I'm actually feeling. You can download it for free at briangerald.com/feelings
