Honest question for the couples here: have you ever rehearsed a 'where is this going?' speech in your head for weeks?
I came across a commitment course by Amy Waterman whose first rule is never give an ultimatum. Pressure gets a rushed answer that people often regret later. The course covers what to do instead, including a 6-step map of how relationships develop.

#ad Your first real argument as a couple might be good news.
One idea from Amy Waterman's course Connect And Commit: conflict shows up in every relationship that's going somewhere. The couples who last learn to disagree without trampling on each other, and the first fight is the first chance to practise.
The course also has a three-part way to handle 'The Talk' and a 6-step timeline of how commitment develops.

30-second script
[0-3s, to camera] "The speech you're rehearsing might be what pushes them away."
[3-10s] "I mean the 'where is this going?' speech with a deadline on the end. An ultimatum gets you an answer, but it's a rushed one, and people often regret rushed answers."
[10-20s] "A course I've been looking at, Connect And Commit by Amy Waterman, says do the opposite: be someone they're clearly better off with, back their goals, and don't ration your affection to get your way."
[20-27s] "It also maps out six stages relationships move through, so you can see where you two actually are."
[27-30s] "Link in my bio. It's an affiliate link, so I may earn a commission."
