What is the Next Day Principle?

It’s a practice that we have not only implemented in our own marriage and family, but it’s also something we recommend to other couples in our coaching all the time.

It helps to slow down reactivity, giving you time to clarify your feelings and determine what you still need to take to your spouse. The Next Day Principle is simply this: instead of reacting in the moment of a conflict with the full weight of your frustrations and emotions, you wait until the next day to bring it up with your spouse.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • The value of slowing conversation down
  • Tips for practicing the Next Day Principle
  • The importance of being responsive rather than reactive
  • And more!

We hope this conversation blesses you!
