Step #5 – Reviewing Your BOL Scores

Congratulations! Now that you’ve finished the Beyond Our Love worksheet, it’s time to apply each other’s scoring and engage in a series of meaningful dialogues.

This worksheet is a guide to cultivating an exceptional relationship, suitable for couples at any stage – dating, preparing for marriage, or enhancing an existing marriage.

It underscores the significance of understanding each other’s natural behaviors, navigating relational circumstances, and viewing time together as an opportunity for growth and learning.

When discussing your scoring from one through five, clearly describe the reasons and provide examples for progress or well-deserved accolades.

Here are some helpful insights.

IDEAL APPROACH:
Discuss this process with enthusiasm in advance and avoid surprising your partner.

LESSON GOAL:
Together, decide on a mutual goal that you both can celebrate.

TOPICS:
When engaging in discussions, it is important to acknowledge the areas needing attention, while also identifying and celebrating the areas of agreement.

LIFESTYLE COMMITMENT:
Situations have the potential to trigger emotions, which, if not properly addressed, can escalate into larger issues.

Avoid letting these issues become significant; prioritize understanding and honoring each other. When it comes to your initial commitments, never let circumstances erode them.

Perhaps we need to slow down from life’s demands and practice… listening, learning, and talking—an essential part of going Beyond Our Love.

DISCUSSING WITH LOVE AND PROPER INTENTIONS:
Open communication, empathy, and a shared commitment to understanding each other’s perspectives will pave the way for constructive discussions and finding solutions that work for both of you.

We hope you enjoy your Beyond Our Love experience!
