Set a Good Example

Take a minute and think about how your parents interacted with each other.

Do you notice any similarities on how your partner and you interact?

Oh you do?!

Hmm...that's strange!

Nope! Not really!

Our parents' relationship serves as a model for how we think romantic relationships should look like. It's our "normal."

So what kind of relationship are your partner and you modeling for your child? Is that the kind of relationship you want your child to have in the future with their partner?

If it is, then keep doing what your'e doing.

If it isn't, then it's time to take some ownership and make some changes. Sit down with your partner and discuss how you want your child to be treated by their future partner and act accordingly towards each other.

And please know, it's never too late.

Happy Set a Good Example Day!
