Top relationship tip for during infertility

It’s easy, you don’t need to buy anything or do anything radical. It’s as simple as ‘listening’.

Now I know you’re saying to yourself – ‘but I do listen’. However unfortunately 9 times out of 10, we’re not truly listening or ‘active listening’. We’re multi-tasking, thinking about our reply or even thinking about something else.

It’s normal. We live crazy-busy, distracted lives. This is fine, but when a life crisis like infertility hits, it’s time to implement our top relationship tip for during infertility.

Listen like the wings are on fire!!

You know how no-one really listens to the safety demonstrations on aeroplanes? Well, imagine the wings are on fire – now how are you listening?

So we’re going to ‘listen like the wings are on fire’ to each other and it’s amazing what a difference this can make.

This basic listening exercise has been a game changer in many relationships, has stopped issues spiralling and helped people reconnect. You can use this technique outside of infertility too and see how powerful it can be for you at work or with your friends and family.
