Help Save Marriage My SOS Cry
Author: Joe Bisley“Help save my marriage from falling apart!” My SOS cry from those who see their marriage is falling apart but don’t know what they have to do when they want to save it. You are most likely in urgent need of marriage guidance counseling. It should concentrate on three main areas:
You are going to have to start by wanting the marriage to work. Don’t just say it is your partner’s fault and leave all the salvage work to them. It could be that the principal problems emanate from your partner but you have to help them and do your part. If you take only a passive role you may be contributing unnecessarily to what is already a precarious situation.
For the marriage to work, the couple must operate as a single unity and not as too separate individuals If one of the partners takes an individualistic attitude, you can be sure that things will never work out. Each of the couple has to sacrifice themselves in some measure, so that the two of you can work as a couple.
The next thing you are going to have to look at is how you communicate with each other. Often marriages get into trouble because the two partners do not manage to talk to and understand each other. When each of you keeps their thoughts to themselves, a point is going to arrive when there is deadlock and everything is going to pop
You must learn to speak to each other and talk about the different ways each of you may see a problem. When you both are able to do this serenely, you will find that problems are usually resolved before they are allowed to take big proportions and get to the breaking point.
The third issue to resolve is that of learning to put your problems into perspective, as matters can get easily exaggerated out of all true proportion. Problems arise that would never have arisen if you both agreed between yourselves what ere the main objectives of the couple.
You need to simplify your life and avoid getting into unnecessary detail and arguing over matters that in reality are not important. You are both going to have to learn to give and take on the minor issues. Things will never work out if you don’t learn to live with the little differences. Neither of you can always expect to have their own way all the time.
You must each of you decide on the essential issues of what you expect from the other; these are the things you must really need to exist. By simplifying your life in this way you will bypass the detail and get to the essentials. Think about whether you are asking too much from your partner, are you too susceptible or are you being too ambitious for the couple. You are both going to have to get these matters clear in your heads if you are going to save your marriage
I suggest that you both read "The Magic of Making Up", written by T ’Dub’ Jackson.He has helped many people, in a similar situation to what you are presently in all over the world, to resolve their relationship problems and his book will likely help you resolve yours.
