Nada
Bostori : Welcome everyone to our program. We are here today with Aziz Mone,
one of the most prominent
life coaches. Aziz helps entrepreneurs, coaches, the public,
and companies, and regularly
speaks and writes about personal success in the media. This is a special
interview, as Aziz i not one to do
many interviews and prefers to stay away from social media to maintain his privacy. Today, we will hear from Aziz as he reveals
the world of life coaching
and how it can help
you achieve your goals. Aziz, welcome to the program.

Aziz Mone: Thank you, Nada! I’m really happy to join you today online. It’s wonderful to talk about
topics that matter to many people, especially in this era when
relationships face many challenges.

Nada: Definitely. Let’s start with a simple
question: what are the key secrets you believe lead to a happy marriage?

Aziz:
I believe there are three main elements: communication, mutual respect, and
emotional support. Communication is
the foundation that strengthens the relationship. Couples should be able to express
their feelings and needs honestly
and without fear. Mutual respect
means valuing each other and understanding their
differences. It’s important for couples to realize that each person comes from a different background
and experiences, which requires understanding and patience. Emotional support
strengthens the bond and increases connection between the couple, and should be present in both good and difficult
times.

Nada: These
are great points.
But how can couples improve
their communication skills,
especially given the pressures of daily life?

Aziz: Improving
communication skills requires
awareness and continuous effort. Couples can set aside
daily time to talk with each other without distractions, like during breakfast or before going to
sleep. During these moments, they should focus on active listening, which means
giving full attention to what the
other person is saying, without interrupting. Techniques like “non-violent communication” can help, where each
partner speaks about their feelings and needs without blaming the other. This approach enhances understanding and
empathy and helps solve problems in a constructive way.

Nada: A great idea! How can couples enhance
mutual respect in relationships

Aziz:
Mutual respect requires awareness of needs and expectations. Couples can
enhance respect by giving positive
feedback, whether through text messages or video calls. When each person expresses appreciation for the
other, even with simple words, it strengthens the relationship. We should
work on strengthening the positive aspects
and be aware of each other’s feelings. Learning from differences and considering each other’s perspectives is also crucial.

Nada: What about emotional support? How can it be offered in an online
relationship?

Aziz:
Emotional support is an essential element in any relationship. Couples should
be there for each other during tough
times. Support can be provided by being present in difficult moments, such as video calls during hard times or sending
text messages expressing support. Additionally, couples
can engage in shared activities online, like watching
a movie together or playing
games, which strengthens emotional bonds. Daily life experiences, even through messages
or calls, can enhance connection. It’s important for each partner
to feel supported
and loved.

Nada: That makes a lot of sense. What other challenges do you think couples may face in modern relationships, especially with the presence of technology?

Aziz: Technology can be a double-edged sword.
On the one hand, it facilitates communication, but it can also lead to problems. For example, social
media can lead to unhealthy comparisons, which
can cause insecurity or stress. Couples may find themselves in situations where
they question their relationship or
commitment based on what they see online. It’s important for couples
to agree on how to use technology in a healthy
way, such as setting “device-free” times
to communicate more deeply and focus on each other.

Nada: How can intimacy
be enhanced between
couples online?

Aziz:
Enhancing intimacy requires openness and creativity. Couples can talk about
their needs and desires clearly,
even through text messages. Activities that promote physical connection, such as dancing together on video or
practicing yoga, can enhance intimacy. Couples should make time for intimacy, even in busy schedules. They can also exchange romantic
messages or intimate thoughts to create a sense of
closeness, which is crucial in strengthening the relationship.

Nada: Beautiful! How can conflicts
be resolved constructively in online relationships?

Aziz:
When resolving conflicts, couples should avoid resorting to accusations. It’s
better to use the “I
feel” approach to explain emotions
instead of blaming.
For example, instead
of saying, “You
always do this,” you could say, “I feel frustrated when this happens.”
Couples can also choose to discuss
difficult issues through video calls, where direct communication can help
better understand each other. It’s also important
to discuss sensitive issues and not let things
build up.

Nada: It’s wonderful to hear your advice, Aziz. What is the final piece of advice you can offer to couples in online relationships?
