  • You Have A Choice
    Feb 19 2025
    “It’s your choice,” I reassured her. It was a call I picked up between sessions. The person told me she had been following my System, but wasn’t sure if she could keep it up. She wasn’t sure if it mattered, so she was thinking about quitting. She wanted to know what I thought…. I didn’t need to convince her either way. It really was her choice. Should she walk away or should she keep working on it? Only she could answer. My concern was what seemed to be fueling her decision. She was discouraged. (Which is an interesting word, denoting she had lost courage… and she was coming to me to be encouraged — to gain courage — to act one way or the other.) To be fair, the process of saving your marriage is emotional, heart-wrenching, painful, frustrating, and exhausting… before it turns the corner. Is it worth it? That was her choice. The Choice. To work on it or to walk away. Maybe it is all just getting to people this week… winter keeps on coming, crises seem to be everywhere, politics is unavoidable… and then there is that marriage crisis! Navigating all of that, staying afloat, and continuing to push forward is just tough. Which leads to the choice. Work on it or walk away?

  • Don’t Fall for Bad Advice
    Feb 12 2025
    I wish this only happened every now and then. Imagine, for a second, that someone is working on saving their marriage. In this case, they have chosen to use my System. And they are making progress! (Yay!) Then... they decide to do something else... add something on... try to "spice up" their approach. And suddenly, their efforts fall apart. The other day, I was talking with someone who falls into this approach. Making great progress using my material. Then losing all progress when they added on some more "save your marriage" stuff they found on the internet. "I guess your approach doesn't work," this person said. I pointed out that my approach was, in fact, working... until they stopped using it and went with pretty much the exact opposite of what I recommend. No surprise, but their spouse was confused. And this person said, "I don't get it! It was supposed to save my marriage!" I asked, "Did you 'look under the hood' to see what was behind that approach? Did you wonder if it is compatible with what you were already doing?" I knew the answer before I asked, and I could tell I was correct from the confused "umm... I... well... uh... what do you mean?" that I heard back. Let me be the first to say, there is some great information out there on saving your marriage. And there is also a lot of steaming piles of 💩 out there! But when someone is desperate to save their marriage, it is sometimes tempting to jump onto some "great idea" out there. But that isn't a great approach... if you want to be successful. You have to manage that mess... or "Gatekeep" what is coming your way. And that is what we talk about on this week's episode. I discuss what works and what doesn't, how to distinguish between them, and how to gatekeep yourself, so that you save your marriage! Listen below. RELATED RESOURCES: My Approach My Books My System

  • On The Team??
    Feb 5 2025
    One more argument. One more struggle. They sat on my couch, facing each other down as opponents in some contest to... win... well, to be honest, I don't know what they were trying to win. Because they were not winning at marriage! I stopped them, looked at them and said, "You do know you are on the same team..." and they stared blankly at me, so I continued, "... right??" They certainly were not working like a team. They were acting like enemies, in competition with each other. They were struggling to win. But either one "winning" would be a "lose" for the marriage. Too many people miss this one essential -- crucial -- fact about marriage... you both are on the same team. You are working toward a common goal (or should be). The task is not winning as an individual, but as a team, as a couple, as a family. This is the fundamental point of being what I call a "WE." WE are in this together; WE stand side-by-side; WE have each other's back; WE are a team! Same side, same direction (or should be). Listen to this episode for how to get on the same team!
