“I feel like I’m living off of scraps in my marriage.”
“We’re either annoyed and defensive, or we give up and just withdraw.”
“We’re not on the same page anymore. I miss that.”
“I’m doing so much. But I don’t feel appreciated.”
Loneliness and frustration are certainly painful.
They are also a sign of better days ahead.
What??? It’s true. When a marriage hits this stage, it shows that people want to change. It’s the way marriage works. Loneliness and frustration are growing pains.
But if you don’t know what to do with them, they deepen the wedge between you.
This is the Way Out of Loneliness and Frustration
Focus on Yourself...
at least some of the time.
Step 1 – What do you think, feel, and desire?
Step 2 – Effectively communicate those ideas to yourself and to others.
Simple, but not easy.
Conflict is a Friend
Conflict done well rewards you with connection and stability.
Conflict done well doesn’t take a long time and doesn’t fester.
Enjoyable marriages develop through understanding our differences.
Distance is Important
We can be too close or too far.
1. We lose ourselves and fold into the other person.
2. Be so separate that we are behind a wall. There are lots of types of walls to live behind.
I’ve discovered that most people don’t need a way out of their marriage. They need a way out of their repetitive struggles. That’s the real way out. And they need to know that this way out exists.
It does! It’s true. I’ll show you.
It’s normal to be an intelligent, sane, successful person and have marriage issues.
