If you feel that you need to fix your marriage but you can’t put your finger on what exactly is wrong, don’t think that you are odd. Sometimes things get so bad and you are so overwhelmed with what is happening around you that you freeze up. In this article I’m going to show you 3 ways to start fixing things up when you feel so overwhelmed that you don’t know where to begin.
1. Replay past problems. Your problems probably didn’t start today. There were probably lots of ups and downs in the past before you go to where you are today. Therefore remember the previous bad times and think how they stopped. Whatever you did try to it do the exact same thing again or a slight variation of it.
2. Do something different to break the cycle. If you tried to redo your old strategies and it didn’t work, don’t just sulk and give up. Try something new to break the cycle. For instance, if you noticed that you always argue in the bedroom. Make the following rule and say, “Tom, we seem to always be fighting. Let’s only fight in living room.” And stick to it. It might sound stupid and ridiculous, but don’t knock it until you try it. It is a VERY powerful tactic.
You heard me right; change the venue of your fight. You might say that it is still a fight but as you can see, your fights will be minimized since you have living room as your arena. In some cases you might find it too much to fight since you still have to return to the living room to continue the fight. This can be a good way too for you and your spouse to laugh it off since you will be amused of the fact that even if you are already starting a fight, you still need to stop and bring it on the living room. Now, that’s a good change.
3. Keep your eyes on the goal. You have to be willing to work at your marriage and do whatever it takes to fix it. Hang in there! The problems didn’t start overnight and they won’t go away overnight either. Keeping focused on how to fix your marriage will bring new insights that you didn’t see, or even think, were there. The truth is that the solution is really there- you just have to keep looking. Don’t give up, be patient, be flexible and keep your eyes on the goal of restoring your marriage
