Hey brother,
Yep.
You read that correctly.
It's "bizarro world" when your marriage starts to fall apart. Things that used to make sense no longer makes sense.
You're used to a world where a "problem" needs to be "fixed".
You're not in Kansas anymore. "Fixing the problem" is exactly the OPPOSITE of what you should be doing.
I know. Sounds bizarre, doesn't it? But why is it true?
Men who try to "fix their marriage" are facing some of the scariest feelings they have ever had. And it's this FEAR that makes them do the most INEFFECTIVE problem
solving tactics. Things like:
- TALKING about things...all the time...deep and heavy
talks
- ASKING QUESTIONS all the time...and waiting for
answers
- EXPLAINING and JUSTIFYING your concerns until
midnight
- DEMANDING that she give you clearly worded answers and a daily dose of certainty
that everything is okay.
Do any of those sound familiar?
Here's what works.
STOP making this worse...immediately. Take a step back.
Get outside and breathe.
Next?
START thinking smarter. You can't talk yourself out of a situation you behaved yourself into. And all that crap above is just more of the same! Talking, asking, explaining and demanding.
This
is starting to make sense, isn't it?
Watch this video to learn what the NEW THING is that will actually make a difference for you.
This is the thing SHE LEAST EXPECTS from you. And the only explaining you may have to do is telling her why it took this long for you to figure it out. (they ALWAYS ask that, so be prepared!)
