Relationship Dojo Q&A: The Art of Choosing Each Other, Again and Again
Q: What does “Relationship Dojo” really mean to you?
A: It’s the place where love meets practice.
Where two people come together not just to be loved but to learn love.
It’s not about avoiding conflict — it’s about using conflict as a mirror.
Every disagreement, every rupture, every quiet distance… becomes a moment to practice presence, compassion, and repair.
Q: But isn’t that exhausting — to always be “working” on the relationship?
A: It’s not about work. It’s about devotion.
In the dojo, devotion means we bow to the process — even when it’s uncomfortable.
It’s about remembering that love is a discipline, not a guarantee.
When we stop practicing, we drift into old patterns.
When we keep practicing, we evolve into new versions of ourselves — together.
Q: What does practice look like, moment to moment?
A: It’s as simple as a breath before reacting.
A soft “tell me more” instead of a defensive “you’re wrong.”
It’s the willingness to pause, regulate, and re-enter connection consciously.
The dojo lives in those small, sacred moments — the ones that decide whether we deepen or disconnect.
Q: What’s your favorite part about guiding couples in the dojo?
A: Watching two souls remember they’re on the same team.
Seeing the shift from protection to presence — from “me vs. you” to “us.”
That’s where the real magic happens.
Love isn’t meant to be perfect. It’s meant to be practiced.
