The other day, I caught a rerun episode of ABC’s hit television show "Modern Family" and was reminded of something that I’ve heard a lot about lately: The episode took place over the Valentine’s holiday and one of the husband and wife couples, Phil and Claire, decided to spice up their evening by going to a local hotel and pretending to be their sexy alter-egos, who were just meeting for the first time. Of course, sitcom-worthy hilarity ensued and something that the rest of us normal folks would only pray never to have happen to us. But, in reality, they were partaking in something that couples do all of the time—role playing.

Do you find yourself frustratedly stuck in the same patterns? You may not even notice it’s a pattern. However, if you spend some time to think on it, you’ll see a pattern. We all have them.

Maybe it’s a tired argument with your partner/spouse. Perhaps it’s a certain frustrating dynamic between you and someone else. How about this one? You want to get something done but you decide to take a peek at social media… and 2 hours later… nothing is done.
