Faith Deeter Get All Your Relationships Right

Master all of your relationships. What are natural principles? Natural principles come from nature and have been a part of our makeup from the beginning of time.

No matter what type of relationship you’re in, whether it’s parent/child, romantic, or work-related, your relationship is governed by natural principles because, YOU are governed by natural principles and so is everyone else. Similar to instincts, these principles tend to govern the way human beings behave. They are underlying factors as to why we feel happy, fulfilled, anxious, or lonely. By understanding what is natural for a person, you can work in harmony with them. When we don’t understand what is natural, we are more likely to make mistakes. For almost twenty years, people have been coming to me when they need help. They come when their spouse is leaving them, when their kids won’t listen, or when they are unhappy in their life and need a change. The way I help every person is unique to their situation, but the paradigm I use is always the same. I use Natural Principles. It is my hope that by sharing these principles with you, you will have a road map that can keep your relationships strong as well as guide you in knowing what to adjust when you run into trouble.

Have you ever let something slide in a relationship just to keep the peace? Maybe you ignored the
sarcastic comment, excused the forgotten promise, or backed down in an argument. In the moment, it can
feel easier. But over time, what we “release” in order to avoid discomfort often becomes the very pattern
that sticks.

In horsemanship, there’s a saying: “What you release, you reinforce.” If you soften a cue at the wrong
moment, you accidentally reinforce the behavior you don’t want. Horses quickly learn from that timing.
People do, too.

In relationships, if you always back off the moment things get tense, you may reinforce defensiveness,
avoidance, or even disrespect. Change comes when we learn to be steady—kindly yet firmly—long
enough for a healthier pattern to take root.

If you want help breaking unhealthy cycles and reinforcing the behaviors that build trust and closeness
with people, you’ll find a step-by-step program at NaturalRelationships.com.

Life is a roller coaster.
No matter how strong you are, there will be moments that rattle you. A sudden loss. A relationship strain. An unexpected shift that leaves you unsteady.
And in those moments, the strongest thing you can do… is ask for support.
Not because you’re falling apart — but because you’re wise enough to know that no one gets through life alone.
This is true for women and for men.
We all face hardship. We all have vulnerable moments.
And we all need reassurance sometimes.
So don’t try to hide when what you really need is connection.
Don’t muscle through the pain alone to prove that you’re okay.
Trust that the people who love you want to be there for you.
They don’t expect you to be invincible — they want to know how to support you.
Suffering in silence doesn’t make you strong.
Letting yourself be seen — and asking for what you need — that takes real courage.
What if the next time life knocked you down, you didn’t pretend to be fine… but simply asked, “Can you be with me in this for a moment?”

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to focus on what’s missing or what’s wrong? Over time, that habit can quietly erode even the strongest bond.
Here’s the truth: appreciation is like sunlight for relationships. Research shows that couples who regularly express gratitude toward each other feel more satisfied, more committed, and less likely to break up. Appreciation doesn’t just feel good—it actually rewires how people relate to one another.
Think about the last time someone genuinely thanked you. Didn’t it make you want to give even more? That’s the power of positive reinforcement. What you appreciate tends to grow.
This doesn’t mean ignoring problems—it means balancing them by also naming what’s good. “Thanks for listening.” “I love how you handled that.” “I really appreciate your effort.” These small acknowledgments shift the energy from criticism to connection. And they take literally - seconds!
When appreciation becomes a habit, trust deepens. Resentment fades. And both people feel more motivated to keep showing up well.
If you want to learn simple ways to strengthen your relationship through appreciation and connection, visit NaturalRelationships.com.

Growth changes things. As you become more aware, more honest, or more aligned with your values, you might notice some relationships no longer feel the same. That doesn't mean you're better than anyone else. It just means you're moving in a different direction.
It's okay to love people and still recognize that your paths are diverging. This isn't about judgment or rejection — it's about accepting reality. Some people will grow alongside you. Others won’t. And that can be okay for both of you.
The hard part is that we often feel guilty for outgrowing relationships, as if we’re abandoning someone or being disloyal. But staying in relationships that no longer fit doesn’t serve anyone. It can keep you stuck — and keep others from building relationships that reflect where they need to be, too.
Letting go of what no longer fits creates space for what does. Space for mutual respect. Space for growth — yours and theirs.
Have you ever stepped away from a relationship that wasn’t growing with you — and later realized it was the right move for both of you?

If you’ve ever believed that saying “I’m sorry” fixes the problem, you’re not alone — but an apology isn’t a get out of jail free card.
“I’m sorry” is a good start, but it’s not the finish line. True repair doesn’t come from the words — it comes from the change that follows.
Apologies are meaningful when they’re backed by new behavior. If the same mistake keeps happening, “sorry” starts to lose its value. Repeating the same behavior doesn’t feel sorry — being asked to accept it over and over again can make you feel like a chump.
The truth is, fixing the problem is what fixes the problem.
So by all means, apologize — sincerely, and from the heart. But let your follow-through do the real healing. Consistency, awareness, and accountability rebuild connection far more powerfully than any single “I’m sorry” ever could.

Have you ever had someone come at you with so much intensity that you immediately shut
down? Maybe their words weren’t even harsh, but the force behind them pushed you away. On
the other hand, think about when someone approached you with calm presence, kindness, and
genuine care—you probably found yourself softening, leaning in, maybe even sharing more
than you planned.

Bill Dorrance said, “Softness is something you feel, not something you make.” In natural
horsemanship, that “soft feel”—light, respectful contact—creates trust. Force builds resistance,
but feel builds willingness.

People are similar. Pressure, force, and intensity tend to push others away. But attunement,
calm, and gentleness draw them closer. Softness isn’t weakness—it’s strength with sensitivity.
It’s influence without domination. And it creates the kind of bond that lasts.

If you want a step-by-step program that shows you how to bring this kind of “soft feel” into your
human relationships—so people feel safe, understood, and connected with you—you’ll find it at
NaturalRelationships.com.

Resentment doesn’t come out of nowhere. It builds, slowly — often in silence.
You bite your tongue.
You brush something off.
You tell yourself, “It’s not worth it.”
Until one day, it is.
The hard truth is: resentment is often the result of unspoken boundaries, unmet needs, or repeated patterns that haven’t been addressed. And the longer it builds, the harder it becomes to stay connected — because resentment doesn’t just affect your mood. It affects your tone, your patience, and your ability to feel close to the person in front of you.
Resentment is emotional clutter. And like clutter, it doesn’t go away by ignoring it..
The good news? It’s a signal. And signals can guide us if we’re willing to listen.
Next time you notice resentment creeping in, pause and ask:
What am I not saying?
What am I putting up with that I don’t actually agree with?
What would I need to feel more at peace?
It doesn’t always mean confrontation. But it usually means communication.
You don’t have to blow up to be honest. And you don’t have to hold it all in to keep the peace.
Resentment isn’t random. It’s a messenger.
Is there a conversation you’ve been avoiding that might help clear the air?

Have you ever “won” an argument—only to feel like you lost connection?
That’s the trap of needing to be right. It might feel good in the moment, but it rarely creates closeness. Being effective means asking, “What outcome do I actually want here?”
Research on conflict resolution shows that collaborative problem-solving leads to far better long-term outcomes than adversarial debates. Being right satisfies the ego. Being effective strengthens the relationship.
Sometimes that means letting go of proving your point and focusing instead on what will move things forward for both of you. “If one of us loses, neither one wins.”
In your next conflict, pause and ask yourself: Am I building connection or just defending my opinion?

Just because something feels intense doesn’t mean it’s deep. Sometimes we mistake drama for depth, chaos for chemistry, or emotional highs and lows for connection. But intensity without safety isn’t intimacy — it’s instability.
Real intimacy isn’t built on extremes. It comes from consistency, mutual respect, and feeling safe enough to be fully yourself. It shows up in the quiet moments — how someone listens, how they handle conflict, whether you feel calm in their presence more often than not.
If you feel anxious more than you feel secure, it might not be love. It might be a pattern you’ve adapted to — one that feels familiar, but not healthy.
The tricky part? Unhealthy dynamics can feel comfortable when they’re what you’re used to. We might mistake intensity for passion, unpredictability for excitement — but healthy love feels steady, not exhausting.
Think about relationships where you have felt the most at peace. What made those connections feel different from the ones that keep you on edge?

If you’ve ever believed love will fix everything, you’re not alone — but love, by itself, isn’t always enough. Pat Parelli says, “Love and leadership in equal doses.” I’ve never heard it said better.
Love connects us. It softens hearts, heals hurts, and builds bonds. But without boundaries and respect, love can also turn chaotic. Some people love their horses — or their partners — to death. I’ve seen it. I’ve even felt it myself.
Once, my mare Fancy shoved right past me to reach the food bowl after I’d asked her to wait for me to get out of the way. I was on a blood thinner at the time, and being pushed down, stepped on, and thrown into the side of the barn could have gone much worse than it did. I know all my animals love me — but love without boundaries, whether with a horse, a dog, or a person, can still go wrong.
Healthy relationships require both: bonds and boundaries. Like two sides of the same coin, they balance each other. Love fuels connection; boundaries shape it.
So no, love by itself doesn’t fix everything — but it’s a key ingredient when combined with respect and communication.
