The Smart Couple Quote Book: Radically Simple Ways to Avoid Pointless Fights, Have Better Sex, and Build an Indestructible Partnership
Great Relationship Advice Without All the Fluff Real relationships aren't just filled with romance, great sex, and warm, fuzzy feelings forever. All romantic relationships get stressful and challenging at some point. After the honeymoon phase is over, maintaining a loving relationship can get downright hard, and even painful. How you handle the daily challenges of life (alone and together with your partner) will determine whether your relationship gets better or goes down the shitter. The difference between a struggling couple and a smart couple is the smart couple learns how to handle relationship stress and challenges together as a team, using tools and methods for communicating that actually work—no matter how tough life gets. Discover the Tools for Building a Loving Relationship That Gets Even Better Year After Year In this relationship book for couples and individuals, you will discover the tools you need to create and maintain an incredible relationship—one that gets stronger over time instead of boring and stale. The lessons and love quotes in this book will help you deepen your relationship instead of running away, blaming, or staying stuck in an unhappy marriage. Most marriage books try to sell you a "happily ever after" fairytale while skipping over the pain and struggle that comes with every long-term relationship. While avoiding pain may feel good in the short-term, these bad habits will destroy your relationship in the long run. Instead, this book will help guide you to creating the relationship of your dreams instead of hoping, wishing, and praying things will get better. Renowned relationship teacher Jayson Gaddis will challenge you to think differently about how you deal with problems in life and in your relationship. You will discover powerful strategies for communicating better with your partner so you can grow, heal, and create a rock solid relationship that will stand firm no matter what life throws at you. From Wound Mates to Soul Mates The smart couple learns to move from wound mates to soul mates that inspire the very best in each other. When you make this move, you become a love warrior, destined for a strong partnership over many years. It's not an easy path, but it's the path you must take if you want to create a fulfilling, lasting relationship. Contrary to popular belief, “just loving each other” is not enough to make a relationship work. It takes two people who are willing to grow, learn, and challenge each other. A loving relationship is a path that demands you gain more self-awareness and self-responsibility so that you can become your best self and support your partner in doing the same. A great relationship is not only designed to get you to grow up and grow into yourself, but a strong, loving relationship has the power to help you accomplish and achieve more in your life. Strap Yourself in for the Ride of a Lifetime There is nothing quite like having a lover, a best friend, and a co-pilot on this crazy ride called life. When you finally start to use the tools that make relationships work, you will be able to prevent pointless fights, get stronger through conflict, and have better sex. You’ll become an unstoppable power couple that lights up the room when you walk in. The love quotes found in this relationship book are a gold mine if you choose to read slowly and digest each sentence. You can ponder each one alone and together. You might have to discuss, disagree, and work through a quote, just like you would a normal difference in your own lives.

‘If you’re the one with a need, it’s up to you to ask for it. Don’t expect your partner to be a mind-reader.’
Author Jayson Gaddis is on a mission as a relationship student and teacher. His influence s widely felt through his Smart Couple Podcast and as founder of The Relationship School to teach people how to do intimate relationships'. As he states, my “story” is relevant here because relationship was THE factor that got me to wake up out of the fog and the trance I was in to see a deeper path to my life. And, relationship is what this website is about. Relationship pain was the thorn in my side that had me seek out help. When my sixth or seventh relationship failed, I finally asked “what if I’m the problem?” It was relationship pain that cut through my habits and strategies and had me finally self-reflect deeper than I ever had before. In that moment I was able to consider a new perspective—that my challenges pointed back to me. That moment was empowering because I began the transition from blame to responsibility. Wait, if it was no longer “her fault” and instead something was going on in me, and if the source of my relationship issues was living in ME, well, I had some work to do and things to uncover and discover. The adventure had begun.’ His credentials are most impressive.
In his Introduction he presents his précis – ‘This is not a traditional relationship book that attempts to walk you through a step-by-step process to get a great marriage. Rather, it’s a book about the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of partnership. It’s a book designed to inspire you to go deeper—alone and together. Just by reading a quote or flipping to a random page, you will be challenged, confronted, and inspired to tweak how you see and how you approach your intimate relationships. In doing so, you move closer and closer to what you want, which, hopefully, is a deeply fulfilling partnership over time. My aim is to get you to be more honest with yourself. To take a deeper look inside your mind and your heart. To examine whatever’s been “sold” to you about intimacy and love. In this book, I will challenge you to think differently and more importantly, act differently. This little book will help you move from being a victim to becoming an author of your life and your relationships.’
Jason’s approach: a series of quotes, easy to remember because they make an imprint. Some examples follow: ‘Your partner is merely a doorway into a deeper reality of how you experience yourself.’ ‘There's only one place to work out our relationship issues—in relationship.’ ‘A big source of human suffering: expecting our partners to be someone they are not, or expecting ourselves to be someone we are not.’ ‘The more you risk exposing your messy and dirty self to your partner, the more you will reap the flowers that grow out of that same dirty messiness.’‘If you sit on the sidelines and complain about the relationship pain you’re in and then look to someone else to alleviate that pain, you won’t get anywhere. Best to face the person in the mirror.’
‘The degree to which I trust others is the degree to which I trust myself.‘
It is a different way to convey a subject – and a fine one! Solid information here.
