Is Your Plant DEAD ?

( Why Changing Your Relationship Behavior Doesn ’ t Mean Settling )

BY STACEY MARTINO

There ’ s a big myth that some people seem to believe ... when we say it only takes YOU to change your relationship . Here ’ s what some people hear :

I just have to learn how to settle . I just have to put up with my partner the way they are . I ’ m the only one who will change , and my partner will never be any different .

Relationship
Development ®
is
saying .
I ’ ve said it before and I ’ ll say it again — when you implement the Relationship Development tools and strategies , your partner will change in response to how you ’ re showing up differently .
