Hit send!

Take the time to talk with your spouse.  This is one of the best first moves that you can make in order to restore your marriage to one that is full of love and fulfilling.

Share any concerns you may have about your marriage problems and create open, honest and respectful two-way communication.  This will allow both of you to share your thoughts, concerns and ideas that each of you need to know.  This will help the two of you to solve those issues.

Honor and Respect

The way to make your thoughts, ideas and concerns to be heard and understood without causing further trouble is to make sure that you use respectful communication skills.

Make sure that you do not use accusing or personal attacks.  In its place, state your concerns clearly and give your spouse the chance to respond free of any interruption.  Really listen to your spouse’s words and try to come up with the best resolution you can come up with together.

Arguing is like the “Upper Hand”  Game used by kids on baseball sandlots all over the U.S. Two team captains battle to have his or her upper hand cover the top of the bat, while taking turns grabbing at it.

Instead, be on the same team.  Being on the same team, as it were, can involve healthy arguing, but each knows that he and she are a team!

If an unhealthy argument is brewing, then it may be time to take immediate action, if… You really want all of the step-by-step instructions, and are ready to give your 100% effort to change  painful hurt and bitterness into healing and wholeness, then check out my free report, Click here!

Hurricane Shelter Together

A good cure for a marriage troubles can be making your home into a personal hurricane shelter. How?

In 2004, Florida got pelted by Hurricane Charlie. I remember that hurricane so much because it was such a healthy thing for my wife and I. For several days it was crazy outside and unsafe to go to work. My wife and I had a mini vacation in that house, even though we did not have electricity or AC in the hot Florida sun.  What we did have was lots of time to talk in the dark!

So, even if many things are stressful and bringing you down as a couple – it pays to take time off from everything and just have alone time.

Use the open-ended and constructive communication steps, make sure to take every opportunity to spend more time together doing effective marriage problem solving and open communication.

At the same time, you and your spouse need to reserve more time out of your busy day (with or without the vacation)  in order to make more time to work on your marriage.  You can do this by by limiting outside obligations.  This can also allow you to have regular date nights, which will work wonders to help both of you get back on track.

Go to the Woodshed!

Hopefully, you will be learning from your efforts to take fast action that will allow each of you to appreciate each other again. But it will take going to the woodshed to make it happen for good this time!

In the world of Jazz music, going to the “woodshed” is slang for practicing the hard stuff, so that when it comes time to perform – you sound like perfectly natural.

It takes a lot of work to jazz it up, making up the song as they go, but in perfect harmony with the band and always returning to the foundation of the song.

Practice this stuff!

Continually doing this will help you build a stronger, healthier, and better marriage together.
