After many years of practicing as a psychotherapist for couples, Jonathan Robinson found that there are twelve major rules he calls the “Dynamic Dozen” that causes considerable problems when not articulated.
1) How to make money decisions; who is in control of the money (see below role play video for help)
2) How often to have sex and other issues such as birth control. What happens if the woman becomes pregnant, and so on.
3) How to treat your partner when she is upset (check out role play video here).
4) How to show your partner your affection and love.
5) How to discipline the kids; what are the different responsibilities each parent has toward the kids.
6) What makes the relationship truly successful.
7) What is the proper way to listen to your partner; how much listening is necessary.
8) How to handle problems and major decisions that affect both partners.
9) How much quality time should be spent together each day or week (see video for help).
10) How much TV watching is allowed (see video for help).
11) How much alcohol and/or drug use is allowed (see video for setting limits here.).
12) What is the most effective way to ask your partner to do things for you?
