Help For My Marriage
-
Seek help early.
Don’t wait till it’s too late and you’re just defensive, critical, full of contempt and are stonewalling.
-
Listen to each other.
Stop always thinking about what your response will be. Listen and tell yourself that there is always something you can learn from each other.
-
Know what your no negotiables are.
Know those areas that you’re flexible and can meet in the middle. This is better if done before your married.
-
Make repairing the relationship a priority.
Don’t get caught telling each other you don’t have time. Even just 10 minutes a day will give you time to emotionally connect.
-
Stop focusing on the negative.
It’s important that you both stop throwing around the word divorce. It’s like quicksand. You just sink deeper and deeper into the negative.
-
Stop thinking about yourself and think about the two of you as “WE”.
This way there is not the blame game. Your not single anymore. Start thinking like a team player.
-
Stop being so defensive.
Put the weapons down. Seek to understand each other instead of having to be understood.
-
Seek first what needs to be changed in you.
Instead of blaming the other person, look at what you need to do to bring alignment to yourself.
-
Stop being so defensive.
Put the weapons down. Seek to understand each other instead of having to be understood.
-
Be honest.
Don’t lie or tell half truths. This honors no-one and is insulting. Speak your own personal truth.
-
Have more goals for your own life than you do your partners.
Who are you without placing expectations on your partner?
-
Take ownership for your part.
You both play a role in how each got to be in the mess. Take accountability and stop playing the victim role.
-
Do the work individually.
Seek therapy and counseling to resolve childhood and past relationship issues. It’s not about your current partner. It’s the story you’re telling yourself.
