Hey! It's Alana Pratt, your sexy mom expert. Our next tip is called the die ad. It's a two way communication. I don't know about you moms, but when I am angry and I'm pissed off about something, I'm not feeling very sexy nor do I probably look very sexy. Whenever I get into conversations with my boyfriend about something, it gets heated. You said, I said, she said, and it's a fight before you know it. You never even want to address it and it builds, and it builds, and it builds, and it's never resolved. Well here is the answer. It's called the die ad: a two way communication. All you're allowed to say when the other person speaks is thank you. No rebuttal. No but, but, but. Total safety to speak your truth. This is how it goes. Tell me something you like about me. That's the first question. Tell me something you think we align on that builds affinity and tell me something you think I should know. So it goes like this. You're sitting across from your husband and you say, "Tell me something you like about me." He'll say, "I love that you made that great meat loaf," and you'll say, "Thank you," and then it's your turn. Tell me something you like about me and you'll say, "I love that you call me and you come home. You your word. When you say you're going to come home you come home." Great. Tell me something you think we align on. You go back and forth and you say, " We're really a family that's committed to joy, and health, and happiness and fun." Great. That builds some more affinity. Now, here's the place. Tell me something you think I should know. All you're allowed to say is thank you. He might say, "When you bought all those things without asking me it made me feel like you didn't respect and the money that I worked so hard for." You're not allowed to say but, but, but. All you can say is thank you. When it's your turn and you say, "Honey, when you didn't call me that time, I thought maybe you got in a car accident. My mind went crazy and I thought you might be having an affair. I just went south. All I really want is for you to call me if you're going to be late." All he's allowed to say is thank you. This is never to be spoken of again. Do it for about 20 minutes. See what comes up and notice that you'll really be able to connect. It's a safe place to talk and you never speak about it again, so you go about your day knowing really what it means to the other person to be of that high integrity, that high communication, that appreciation and gratitude for each other. Watch those issues that turn into these huge fights just be very minor misunderstandings and have ease and grace and flow in your communication and in your marriage, and watch how that makes you feel a lot more sexy.
