Brad and Michaela are beyond excited to share some of the nuggets they have picked up along the way while curating what many would say is the ultimate power couple. Join them on this journey as they relay a variety of topics to help you create the type relationship you strive for most.

As requested from Brad Brockbank, below is the comments shared from a seminar:
"How To Take Care of Your Wife".
(These are my personal notes and they have served me VERY well since I learned them).
Â
#1 You need to drop 3 Appreciation Bombs Each Week (From outta nowhere) In those messages send the message that I care about you and I adore you.
#2 Don't ignoring her feelings. (You have to let her know that the way she feels about something is important, even if she is wrong)
#3 Don't interrupt her to judge or correct what she is saying. (Also don't interrupt her to give her the solution to her problem... That is not why she is telling you)
#4 Stop putting your interest or friends first. This makes her feel second rate, and will NOT help your relationship. (Do the opposite and I guarantee very positive results.)
I#5 Stop saying you shouldn't be so upset.
#6 Stop belittling her views. (go back and see #2)
Â
Affection is a powerful motivator for women and helps to soften their heart when they receive it.
Â
#7 Do- be attentive to show you care.
#8 Do- listen quietly to understand her feelings.
#9 Do- adore her by putting her needs first.
#10 Do- validate her and make her know that her feelings are okay.
#11 Do- assure her that her feelings make sense.
Â
A wife will give more if she feels special, adored, and listened to than rescued or provided for; she desires more loving attention and affection than helpful problem solving
Â
Apply these principles constructed upon a foundation of mutual trust and love and I promise a stronger healthier marriage. Feel free to share with others
