After completing the 5Day program, my wife and I now talk so much more than before.
Before this, our communication was almost nonexistent—we didn’t even exchange messages. For most couples, having regular conversations might seem normal, but for those who know my situation, this is a truly surprising change. Honestly, even I’m surprised. Up until now, I genuinely believed that minimal interaction was enough as long as we were raising our son together. It’s shocking how much my perspective has shifted.
One moment that stood out was when our son asked my wife, “Why did you marry Dad?” She answered, “Because we share the same hobbies and have fun together.” That response made me reflect on why I chose to marry her in the first place. While I’d like to think I consciously decided she was the right person for me, it may also have been my unconscious guiding that decision. Either way, it reminded me of what brought us together.
Since then, our family time has become much more peaceful, and I’ve started to make a conscious effort to prioritize it. Of course, there are still times when I feel annoyed by something my wife says or does, but I’ve noticed I can respond to those moments with more balance and understanding.
Building better communication with my family isn’t just about raising our son—it’s essential for living a fuller and more meaningful life. As our son grows up and as we age, there will inevitably be new challenges, but now I feel ready to face them with a positive outlook.
If someone like me, who had such a strained relationship with their spouse, can experience this kind of change, I believe anyone can. I’d encourage anyone to give Dr. Yoshi’s coaching a try—you might be surprised at what’s possible. If it doesn’t work for you, I’ll personally take responsibility and cover the cost. (Just kidding. 😉)
