Building Better Relationships

By Peter Wolfgramm, Director of Operations at Grace in Action

Spouses and couples often don’t see the same situation the same way. For example, one person wants to talk things out, while  the other needs time to think things through. One may enjoy possibilities and dreaming big, while the other naturally focuses on what is practical. When these perspectives go unnoticed, they can easily become a source of frustration and tension. 

It's important to recognize that God-given differences are complementary and beneficial. He did not design these differences as obstacles, but as complementary and beneficial. CliftonStrengths provides a powerful reframe by helping couples understand, appreciate, and leverage their God-given wiring rather than working against it.

CliftonStrengths helps define how fearfully and wonderfully God has created you. The CliftonStrengths assessment uncovers your unique  34 themed strengths. They are your “talent DNA” that help explain the ways God has made you most naturally to think, behave, and react. 

CliftonStrengths is a wonderful tool for identifying the combination of strengths that God has given to you and any teams of which you are a part. The most important team in your life is your marriage. Consider giving your spouse, fiancé, or significant other a fun and beneficial gift this Valentine's Day by investing in your relationship with CliftonStrengths couple's coaching.
