Lyn talks to relationship coach Cristie Cerniglia about how women can attract more attention and affection from their man. Cristie shares her personal journey, which began with the challenges of her parents' divorce and evolved into a passion for helping others strengthen/ save their marriages. The discussion highlights the importance of shifting focus from complaints & criticism to gratitude & appreciation, the power of self-care, and the significance of women embracing their healthy feminine energy in relationships, so men have the space to show up in their healthy masculine. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Focus on Positivity: Shift your attention from what your partner isn't doing to what they are doing right. This change in focus will lead to your partner wanting to do more to make you happy and creates a more positive atmosphere in the relationship.
• Express Desires Clearly: Communicate your needs and desires in a way that inspires your partner, rather than complaining or demanding. This approach means you are more likely to be heard and receive more of what you want.
• Embrace Differences: Recognise and celebrate the differences between his masculine and your feminine energy. Understanding that the polarisation of these energies is what creates and enhances passion, chemistry, attraction and connection which is crucial for a healthy relationship.
• Take Responsibility for Your Happiness: Your happiness is your own responsibility. By focusing on self-care and personal happiness, you can create a more fulfilling relationship because it doesn't place that burden on your partner.
• Practice Gratitude: Show appreciation for your partner's efforts, no matter how small. Acknowledging their contributions can strengthen your bond and encourage them to continue to make more effort.

BEST MOMENTS

"When we focus on what he's not doing or what we wish he would do, we're going to spend most of our time unhappy."

"I realised I was doing some of that and I needed to stop and I needed to treat him like a smart, capable man, because that's who I married."

"It's not helpful to just keep pointing the finger at him and saying, it's you, it's you, it's you."

"Your husband's number one priority is that you're happy. That's when he feels successful as a man and as a husband."

"Miserable people don't have happy relationships. Happy people do. So let's get 'you' happy first."

ABOUT THE GUEST - Cristie Cerniglia - Relationship Coach 

Cristie Cerniglia has been married to her husband for 30 years. She has always been passionate about marriage and family, particularly after her own parents’ divorce during her senior year of high school. When her own marriage began to feel rocky, the books, seminars and gurus she had poured over in the past lacked the information she needed to fix it--or even DIAGNOSE the problem! 

Then Cristie found Laura Doyle. Laura’s book and approach was completely unique, and SIMPLE! It was then that Cristie realised that she was the problem! Once she learned the ways she was repelling her husband, she shifted and became magnetic again! Cristie took a one-year online course with NY Times Bestselling Author Laura Doyle (The Empowered Wife) and trained and certified as a Relationship Coach.

Cristie has seen remarkable improvements in not only her marriage, but many significant relationships. The Six Intimacy Skills she teaches are helpful and necessary to aid lonely, "stuck" wives rekindle their joy and romance and create the marriages they've dreamed of, with or without his efforts! She approaches the topic with humour and storytelling.

Cristie has been speaking for 24 years now, sharing her stories in churches, ladies’ groups, and events. She also hosted her own local radio broadcast called "Contagious" for three years. Cristie loves to speak, teach, and share!
