Commitment Issues: What Would Make You Excited to Commit? — Alyson and Tripp Lanier
What would make you excited to commit to a relationship?
Are you afraid to set a high bar for someone because it may mean you’ll end up alone?
And what does it mean if you can’t stop nit-picking your partner?
In today’s coffee date, my wife Alyson and I recall the first phone conversation we ever had. She grilled me for hours about my values — or as she puts it, “What makes you kneel or bow?” We talk about the value of being radically honest early on and why being out of alignment on the big stuff dooms us to struggle with the small stuff.
In this conversation:
- How Tripp and Alyson met
- Being tired of the dating BS
- Getting radically honest early in the relationship
- What makes you kneel and bow?
- What would you die for?
Plus:
- Being aligned on deeper values
- Nit-picking the other person’s choices
- Struggling with superficial relationships
- When your partner is sleepwalking through life
- Being able to solve problems
