Thinking Of Divorce Save Marriage With A Marriage Counselor

0

Are you thinking of divorce?  Save marriage by seeing a marriage counselor.  There are many therapists who say they do marriage counseling, but how do you know which ones are really good?  This article will give you a checklist of things to look for in a family therapist.
First of all, you want to see what their credentials are.  There are three basic classes of counselors.
The first is the Ph.D. or Psy.D. level counselor.  These people went to graduate school for a minimum of five years and wrote a dissertation.  In addition, they performed a minimum of 3000 hours of therapy under the supervision of an experienced psychologist.  In order to legally call yourself a “clinical psychologist” the person must have a doctoral level degree.  Ph.D.’s are often more academic in nature and tend to do scholarly and forensic work along with therapy. 
Then there is the M.S.W.  This means Master of Social Work.  Social Workers are trained to apply social theory to specific situations.  They can work in institutions or with individuals. 
Finally, there is the M.S. or M.A. in Counseling.  Often called a “Marriage and Family Therapist,” these people can only work with individuals or small groups in counseling situations.  They tend to have 2 year degrees and may not have written a thesis.  They have 1500 hours of therapy under supervision.
If you are using your insurance to cover your marriage counseling, your insurance company will probably direct you to an MSW or a Marriage and Family Therapist because they are less expensive.
Second, you have to determine what the price will be.  Clinical psychologists tend to be the most expensive while Marriage and Family Therapists are the least expensive.  Remember you are trying to stop divorce.  Save marriage by finding the best fit not the most (or least) expensive professional. 
Look at the per session cost as well as the overall cost for the expected length of treatment. 
Often, therapists working in groups or non profit institutions will have a sliding scale fee based on a couple’s income.  If you qualify, this might make counseling affordable when it otherwise might not be.
Third, you need to look at the policies the therapist has.  Some of these policies include:
· What happens if you miss or cancel a session?
· Can you take a pre-planned vacation without having to pay for the session?
· Will the therapist accept calls outside of the normal session?  Do they accept calls at home or just at the office?
· Is there an alternative person you can call in an emergency?
A family counselor should help you put your family back together so that you don’t have split up.  Saving your marriage should be their ultimate goal.  If you don’t feel that you are in synch with your counselor, move on and find someone who can keep you from divorce and save marriage.

Using Marriage Counseling When Marriages Are In Trouble

0

By John Bryan

Marriage and relationships in general is one of the best things we can experience in life. But sometimes those relationships can go bad and what was once a great experience can be terrible.

It is very sad to see marriages go just this way. But there is always a better way to fix troubled relationships. In this article we are going to look at how marriage counseling can help save marriages.

It is one of the most private things in the world to happen and that is the very first thing to realize when a couple fights. So it is only natural to want outside help. But when something as significant as a marriage is on the line then you absolutely need to get that outside help. Since often times it is the existence of outside help that can really point out the real conflicts and help resolve them. That is one of the major benefits my clients of my marriage therapist service.

Another way that marriage counseling can really help in a bad relationship is communication. A very good or seasoned counselor can surely help a couple who are having a really hard time communicating learn how to communicate. Because often times I have found in my family therapist service that is was the breakdown in communication. That breakdown is definitely what made the problem appear worse than it needed to be. Well basically, in that area, counseling would be able to help.

Finally a really good counselor can help the couple work towards resolving the existing differences. Because a lot of times I have found in my marriage counseling practice that couples didnt want to resolve the relationship. Well that is really the big problem since when they are not willing to work it out, then nothing will be fixed absolutely. A really good counselor can surely help a couple get on that road to fixing it.

so hopefully you can see there are many advantages to getting a couple to resolve their differences. They just have to be willing to carefully seek help just before anything can be fixed. - 30535

What Can I Do To Save My Marriage You Ask

0

If youre looking around wondering “what can I do to save my marriage” then youre no doubt in a dire situation as your marriage has hit rocky ground.
Without a doubt there needs to be a period of reflection before you can launch into a plan to answer your search, “what can I do to save my marriage?”  Failure to stop and think and map out a plan means that you might very well end up going down dead ends and around and around in circles.  So reflect and get a plan.
If you havent already done so, you should talk to your spouse.  Find out what they think of the situation and if they believe there is anything worth saving of the marriage.  With any luck you both agree that you both want to save your marriage and you decide to go forward together.
You are then faced with either trying to figure things out on your own, going for marriage counseling or searching online for one of the many ebooks that are available and that will answer your question “what can I do to save my marriage?”
If you opt for marriage counseling you should consider that this process can be long, expensive and you really have to be prepared to open yourself and your marriage up to an outside third party.  Not only that, you have to be lucky enough to find a therapist who will gel with you and your spouse in order for the process to work really well.
You could both try to work things out between on your own and sometimes this can work really well.  However, you should be aware that you do run the risk of making things worse because you might not be entirely sure what youre doing or how to go about it.  Not only that, you and your spouse will naturally take your corners and hold onto positions that you have, whether they are right or they are wrong.  Its human nature to protect yourself and that might not always be the right way for you to go forward to find ways “to save my marriage.”
The other alternative is to use one of the many ebooks that are online.  This can really be a break through choice for a lot of couples because it usually involves going at your own pace, paying a one off fee and getting step by step practical guidance about how to really save the marriage.
Without a doubt it is always easier to have your spouse on side and the two of you rooting for the marriage, but choosing the right resource to save the union is also crucial!

Is Your Marriage In Crisis

0

Is your marriage in crisis? Would you know it if it was? Do you recognize the warning signs? A marriage in crisis can sometimes disguise itself as a normal but slightly boring marriage until it’s too late to change it and save it.
You have to pay attention to all the signs of health in your marriage to make sure your partnership is going strong. First, look at how often you have sex. While sex isn’t the whole point of the marriage—it’s much more important than just that—it’s a crucial part of a healthy marriage.
A marriage in crisis is usually pretty easy to spot by looking at your sex lives. Do you have sex infrequently? Is it a big, scheduled deal when you do have sex? Have you stopped having sex spontaneously just when you feel like it?
When sex becomes a scheduled activity, a marriage can certainly recover. In fact, most marriages go through a phase very much like that when a baby is born. Each child makes it more and more difficult to find the time to spend with our partner over a meal or before leaving for work, let alone finding a spare hour to make love.
But a marriage in crisis never breaks out of that pattern. Instead, even when the time is there the partners don’t have spontaneous sex. Usually there’s very little physical affection shown during the day either. People in love and happy to be together tend to hug and kiss different times through the day.
A loving couple will often touch each other just in passing. One will give the other a fast kiss on the cheek or forehead for no reason. Does this still happen in your marriage? Do you ever sneak a quick pinch or pat on the bottom or a sexy look in the middle of the day?
When these things start to disappear, it can be a sign that the marriage is in trouble. The other thing that goes in a very obvious way is common courtesy. When you say “thank you,” “excuse me,” and “please,” throughout your day to strangers more than you say them to your partner, something’s wrong.
We take our partners for granted in this way, and eventually this leads to a sort of coldness between people. There is simply no reason not to be affectionate and thank our partners (and say please) during the course of everyday life.
The good news is that if you’re seeing these warning signs, you can start working right now to correct them. And you don’t have to make a fanfare about it or announce the change. Simply change what you do.
Make a point of giving affection and unexpected kisses. Be very polite again, and say please and thank you, even when it’s just the two of you. Make time for making love. Do these things and your marriage in crisis could soon be back on track and you could be happier than ever.

Save Your Marriage Infidelity Doesnt Have To Mean The End

0

Of all the things that can tear apart a marriage, infidelity is one of the biggest reasons. Extramarital affairs are a betrayal of all the things that marriage is supposed to be about. A marriage is supposed to be a union of two lives, two people bonded together for a lifetime, and breaking that bond is one of the most difficult things to over come.
In a marriage, infidelity isnt just what happens when somebody begins a physical relationship outside of the marriage. Infidelity can also be emotional, when one of the partners in a marriage begins to share their life with someone outside the marriage.
This is known as emotional infidelity, and it has become an even more serious problem in the last few decades. One of the reasons for this is because workplaces, one of our prime social engagements in modern times, have become increasingly more mixed.
In addition to that it is even easier to communicate with people on the sly. Email and instant messaging and texting have all made it easier to bond with people that you shouldnt be bonding with. While this isnt the cause of emotional infidelity, it is a factor.
At the same time, physical infidelity has also become easier. We spend more time apart than we once did, and it is not at all uncommon to spend the majority of time at work, which gives us a very handy excuse when we make the decision to cheat in our marriage. Infidelity is a choice, make no mistake about that.
But the thing to remember is that all of these things are excuses and opportunities, not reasons. Changing the excuses wont change the marriage, wont solve anything. But that doesnt mean that you cant overcome cheating in marriage. Infidelity is a big problem, but it is not an insurmountable one.
The very first thing you need to do is to figure out what went wrong in your marriage. Infidelity isnt something that happens in a vacuum; there is always a reason when things like that happen. Something has broken in your relationship and it needs to be fixed in order to get past the cheating.
You need to make sure that you dont blame the other person. Yes, they cheated on you. No, it wasnt your fault. But you need to move past it, because playing the blame game will only delay the kind of emotional healing that needs to take place. You need to, as best you can, put it all behind you.
Once youve found out why and began work on it, you need to reestablish the trust in the marriage. Infidelity destroys trust, and its going to be difficult to repair what was been broken. You need to work on rebuilding the trust. Dont expect it to happen right away, and dont expect it to be easy.
But if you can follow these steps, you can save your marriage. Infidelity is terrible, but every relationship can be repaired. You just need to be willing to find the advice and the help you need to repair your relationship.

Love Relationship Advice

0

For most people, its pretty easy to find love.  The challenge often seems to be to be able to make it last.  Keeping your love for each other strong is not impossible.  You just have to understand why it falls apart and make sure you, and your partner, avoid those traps.  Thats where love relationship advice comes in handy.
With the advent of online dating sites there are more ways than ever to meet the one.  Its a much better method than cruising the bar scene looking for someone special.  For most couples the first few months is pretty easy.  You are falling in love and you think the other person is perfect.  You can see no wrong in them or what they do.  And maybe there isnt anything wrong with the way they, or you, act in the early stages of a relationship.
They say that familiarity breeds contempt and if thats true it would go a long way to explaining why the longer a relationship goes on the more it tends to break down.
Here is a list of some of the things you, and your partner, need to be on the lookout for in your relationship.  These are common traps that many couples fall into without realizing it.  If you know what to watch out for and can avoid these mistakes you will have a much better chance of keeping your relationship strong and healthy for a long time:
1. Unrealistic expectations.  As I said above we think our new love can do no wrong.  As our relationship slowly changes from falling in love to being in love and all the day to day stresses and mundane tasks we must face, its easy to lose some of that early glow.  This can be a pivotal time in many relationships, sometimes the couple will think that they just dont love each other anymore and break up.
In reality, in any long term relationship, you will spend a much longer time in this normal mode than you will in the early glow mode.  Its important to recognize that this is all a normal progression in an adult relationship.
2. Inability to effectively communicate.  Men and women express themselves differently...thats just the way it is.  The good news is that you can learn to communicate with your partner effectively, if youre willing to take some time to learn how. The whole its a guy thing or its a girl thing is only true to a point, and is largely just a cop out.  In reality any mature, intelligent adult should be able to learn how to talk to their partner, and even more importantly, listen to their partner.  The real question is do you care enough about your partner and the relationship to take the time?
3.  Dont confuse sex with love.  This may sound obvious but men and women tend to look at sex in different ways.  Women, for example, tend to look at sex as a way to connect with someone they love on a deeper physical level.  Yes, its pleasurable, but the pleasure isnt just physical its emotional as well.
Men tend to look at sex as definition of who they are as a man.  For them too, its pleasurable but its also a way to prove their desirability and masculinity.  Sometimes when a relationship gets to the comfortable stage this difference in views about sex can create problems.  If one partner doesnt seem sexually interested in the other partner it can create severe stress on the relationship.
If your relationship gets to this point, it might help if you and your partner can remember that sex is only one small component of every thing your relationship is made up of.  While for many couples, having an active sex life is an important part of the relationship, its important to understand that as you age and your relationship grows, it probably wont be  quite as important as it once was. That doesnt mean your partner doesnt love you or find you attractive, its just a fairly common way for long term relationships to go.
I hope this love relationship advice will help you hold on to the love youve found.  Being able to make a deep, long lasting, connection with another person really is one of lifes blessings.  Make your connection last by learning how to avoid the pitfalls of some relationships.

A New Life Of Abundance

0

By Ben J Scott

A healthy, happy life is one which experiences abundance. This doesnt refer only to material prosperity but also to strong and supportive relationships, good health, doing work you love and living a life in harmony with your own beliefs and values.

Anyone can attract abundance by changing their lives and how they approach life. There may be some people who are experiencing abundance now and that is because they are positive in life and that they pursued achieving abundance. This happens because they worked hard for it and it is not just an accidental effect of a situation.

If you also want to experience the abundance that other people are experiencing now, all you have to do is to get the abundance vibe by considering what you have in life now. Whether you have all or small, being thankful is always the best attitude towards having an abundant life because a spirit that always shows gratitude may tend to attract more blessings and good experiences. This is the start of an abundant life.

There are many things to that you can thank for in your life. But if you cant think of those things, keeping a journal or a list of what you have each day would be helpful. A journal could be a list of even five simple things you can think of. These may be things that are great for you, even though others consider it just small things. Before you go to sleep, express your gratitude for these five things. Then on the next day, add some more to this list of five things until you are focused to giving thanks to any thing around you rather than wish for other things that you dont have.

It is also important to consider your emotional condition when you aim to live an abundant life. Your positive feelings and habitual emotions can pull the abundance into your life. The people who support you and encourage you to feel good despite the untoward incidences in life are important as well. If you will remain to feel negative feelings, you will only attract more similar negative events into your life, rather than abundance.

Emotions and thoughts are closely linked. So as well as guarding emotions, anyone who wants to attract abundance into their lives also needs to watch the thoughts they think and the words they speak. Changing emotions and thoughts usually involves changing beliefs. After a lifetime of living on autopilot, making these changes can be very challenging but the benefits are well worth it.

The approaches to changes are many and each method can be beneficial to everyone who uses them. Some people would even use a combination of two or more approaches just to enhance or improve their personality that needs changes. By making your beliefs and values, plus your emotional and mental state always in the positive side, changes are worth it and attracting abundance is easier.

There are lots of tools made available by science to help people overcome the unhealthy state of their mental and emotional beings. Among these tools are the hypnosis, self-hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming, applied kinesiology, affirmations, and BSFF (Be Set Free Fast).

These tools are helpful only if you are willing to change. If you can change your attitude to life the possibility of having abundance attracted into your life will be increased. You may face difficulties in pursuing self improvements and inner changes. Just go on and continue the process because you will soon experience abundance as you enjoy every steps of the changing process.

As you change yourself into someone better to attract abundance, you should grab all the good opportunities in order to achieve your goals. Expect the possibilities that different opportunities will soon arrive therefore you need to prepare your self. The best preparation that you can do is to gain further education through skill trainings and other form of activities where you can get more beneficial information.

In this difficult time of life, you can still make your life abundant by being positive towards life, focus on what is good and right, be grateful of what you have, and avoid negative thoughts and feelings. Now is the time to start experiencing a happy and successful abundant life. - 30535

How To Survive An Affair Relationships That Last

0

After an affair, relationships can be hard to mend. The most essential part of any relationship is trust, and if youve cheated this bond is broken. The good news is that it is possible for a relationship to come back from cheating. The bad news is that you are going to have to work for it.
The first thing you need to do is swear off affair relationships. This is not a guide on how to cheat on your partner. If youre going to continue to cheat, then these guidelines will not be of much help to you. If youre willing to do the work, then these tips will help you repair your relationship.
The first thing you to need to do is admit your affair. Relationships are built on trust, and you cant have trust when youre lying to the other person. Not telling them is lying, a lie of omission. You need to tell them if they dont know, even though it is going to hurt.
Aside from general honesty, which is always a virtue, there is a practical side to this as well. If they dont know, they will find out, and its better that you take the bullet now rather than add to the pain when they do find out. If you try to keep it a secret, youre going to torpedo the relationship.
The next thing you need to do is to take the blame. You may feel that your partner did something to drive you to cheat. We also all have natural tendency to rationalize our behavior, to explain ourselves by coming up with an excuse. But the reality is that it is you that cheated, you that the affair. Relationships arent built by blaming your partner for your mistakes. Take the blame and move on.
Then you need to apologize. What youre looking for here is a complete admission and a sincere apology. You need to make sure that they know that you are truly repentant and regret what you did. Dont try to explain, just let them know how you feel.
Once youve done that, you need to give them some space. They are going to react, they are going to be hurt, and you cant push them into forgiving you any faster than they are going to already. Be there for them, but make sure that you dont push. They will be ready when they are ready, and if you try to push the issue then you are only going to succeed in pushing them further away.
After an affair, relationships are going to be different. The best thing you can do is to look at it as if you are starting the relationship all over again. Youre going to need to win back their trust, and this is a process that is going to take some time.
Fortunately, there are resources available to you to help you repair the relationship. It may be hard to admit to yourself that you need help, but using one of the systems can be the best relationship move youll ever make.

Relationship Psychology

0

No relationship is perfect, but it is possible to make your partnership more enjoyable for each of you. After all, relationship psychology is all about finding ways to maintain a balance that stops one of both partners from becoming disillusioned with the union. If youve already broken up with your partner, then using similar relationship psychology principles can also help you to get your ex back.

Relationship psychology is about teaching each person inside the relationship how to recognize destructive or unhelpful patterns that could potentially be driving your partner away. The unfortunate part about most couples is that they often believe the other person will think the same way as they do. In truth, men and women have very different ways of communicating those things they need or want.

Women need to remember that men place more value on actions rather than words. This means a woman who constantly tries to get her partner to address problems in the relationship by talking about the issues or arguing about bad behavior is almost certain to see an increase in those negative patterns.

Instead of talking or arguing your way through an issue, try using a more psychological approach. Men respond more positively to your actions. They want to know that they are capable of making you happy. A man who is constantly faced with an upset partner will begin to think theres nothing he can do to make you happy, so hell withdraw even further from you, even to the point of breaking up.

However, if hes faced with a happy, confident partner who is a pleasure to spend time with, hes less likely to withdraw. In fact, hell likely draw even closer because he enjoys being around you. Men in this situation will often find themselves doing whatever they can to make sure you stay as happy as you were on those occasions. If you find it difficult to raise your self-confidence, then try giving yourself a mini-make over or spend some time doing something you enjoy. When you feel good within yourself, youre more likely to radiate that confidence outwardly as well.

Men need to remember that women value slightly different emotional triggers than they do. Women want to know that the man they love places enough value on her to really listen to what shes saying. If you feel your wife or girlfriend is pulling away from you, then sit down and just listen.

Ask questions about what your partner has just said and then take notice of her responses. If men can learn to listen attentively without allowing their mind to wander off, their girlfriends will begin to feel more loved, which leads them in turn to develop into a good mood, which makes them happy and enjoyable to send time with.

These primary differences in relationship psychology between men and women are simple things you can do to help strengthen your existing relationship, but theyll also work equally well if youre trying to get your ex back.

Why Women Leave Men

0

If you are worried that your wife or girlfriend is about to leave you, or has already left you, you may want an answer to the question:"why women leave men?"  The truth of the matter is that its probably not what you think, and there can be several reasons.
In any long term relationship things pile up.  Little frustrations, hurts, insensitive remarks can all add up over a period of time and each little thing is like a brick in a wall.  After a while you will have one very big wall.  Thats the point where one party will throw their hands up and say Enough!" and leave.  The important thing is to make sure your relationship never gets to that point.
One thing you have to do is un-learn much of what youve been told about women and what they want.  If you think women are needy, and high maintenance you need to re-evaluate your thinking (of course some women are that way, but not most of them).  While this may sound stupid here is something you should try: stop thinking of your woman as a woman, instead think of her as a person.  Treat her the same way you like people to treat you.
One of the biggest mistakes men make is they either treat their woman like a whore, a surrogate mommy, or they go to the complete opposite side of the spectrum and put her on a pedestal where they treat her like shes made of porcelain.  The best thing to do is treat her like a human being: a unique individual that has her own mind, needs, and wants. Get to know the real woman, not the person you want her to be, or think she should be. 
Dont lump all women together.  Dont assume your wife or girlfriend likes a certain thing or should act a certain way just because some other woman (or your mom) does.  More than likely you have several male friends.  Do you treat each one of them the exact same way, or do you modify your behavior (slightly) for each unique relationship you have?
Women leave men because they are unsatisfied in one way or another.  Each relationship is different but at the end of the day your wife or girlfriend will leave because she is not getting enough of her needs met, its as simple as that. 
Most women want their husband or boyfriend to be a friend and confidant.  They want someone who acts like they actually like them.  Many men dont act like they even like their women and they certainly dont treat them like a trusted friend.
Women have sexual needs just like men.  Our society has done a huge disservice to men and women because it tells men they have this huge sex drive and that its ok to pick up women whenever they want to and that women have to be good girls who will only have sex with their husband.
The fact of the matter is that is not true. Women have the same sex drive as men, they are just conditioned to not act on it whenever the whim hits them.  What women dont want is to think that their man only wants them for sex.  Women will often disconnect from their men physically because even though they like sex they also like non-sexual physical contact and many men think they have to turn every incident of physical contact into a sexual encounter.  After a while your woman wont even want you to touch her, and shell find someone else.
So if you want to avoid having your wife or girlfriend leave and you want to  answer the question: "why women leave men?" just follow some of these simple tips and treat your women like someone who you like and love and your relationship should last a long time.

How You Can Save Marriage By Creating Intimacy

0

When your marriage hits rocky waters you must firmly believe that you can save marriage in order to save the marriage.  If you dont believe that as fact, then there is nothing you do that will make a blind bit of difference.  So right now, believe that it is possible for you to save the marriage. 
A common missing ingredient for marriages in trouble is a lack of intimacy.  For a marriage to be happy there must be a level of intimacy that goes beyond the physical and wholeheartedly embraces the emotional.  Ask yourself this, “does my marriage suffer from a lack of intimacy?”
Are you open and transparent with your spouse?  Do you share and include or do you exclude and keep your emotions and emotional needs locked away and try and deal with things on your own?  If you exclude your spouse emotionally, then your marriage lacks intimacy and its time to inject some and get on the road to save marriage.
Make sure that youre making every attempt to share your problems and worries with your spouse.  Too often people find themselves worried and preoccupied with a situation.  Instead of sharing this situation with their spouse, they decide to try and deal with it on their own.  This is a big mistake because it excludes your spouse when you should be including them.
Remember, spouses can very easily sense when something is wrong and if you exclude them, they quickly begin to feel shut out and redundant and thats when hurt can quickly find its way into a marriage.   
Another way to inject intimacy into your marriage so that you can save marriage is to make time for your marriage.  In this day and age when a thousand and one things can encroach on your time, not making time for your marriage is a surefire way for a marriage to hit trouble.  Its no fun discovering that when you were busy carving out a career or focusing your time on attending to the kids, that your marriage just shriveled up and died.
Make sure that if you want to save marriage that youre actively making time for your spouse and your marriage.  Once in a while take an impromptu afternoon off and have some fun with your spouse.  When your spouse realizes that you value them to the extent of changing your schedule to include them, you will begin to see an improved difference in your marriage.
Creating and fostering intimacy in your marriage so that you can save marriage will take time and is an ongoing process.  Dont ever make the mistake of allowing your marriage to be left set on auto-pilot.  A healthy and intimate marriage is one that is attended to regularly, only then will it thrive.

How To Save My Marriage

0

Do you wonder “how to save my marriage?”  This article tells you how to save your marriage.
First, you need to identify the trouble in your relationship.  Some common troubles include:
· Money concerns
· Child rearing difficulties
· Lack of sex
· Lack of communication
· Loss of identity
And, of course, there are many others.  You may discover that there is one main problem or you may identify several smaller problems that are eating away at your marriage. 
When you identify the problem or problems that are at the root of your marriage troubles, you will be able to move on to the next step which is close, personal interaction.
In this step, you will need to be open to extensive conversation.  If you have not had a lot of open communication during your marriage, you may want to consider counseling in order to facilitate the personal interaction that is key to this step. 
If you really want to save your marriage, you will set aside time to work on your marriage issues every single day.  You could set aside some time like after the children go to bed or you could decide to take a walk after dinner every day for just the two of you.  But, you should plan to get back in touch with each other.  A daily habit of quality time with your spouse is very important.
Take some “romantic time” each week.  For some couples, this means reinstating a “date night” every week.  On Tuesdays, for instance, you get a sitter and go out for a picnic or walk around the mall.  As you can see, this doesn’t have to involve wine and roses every week, but a romantic time that you can look forward to all week is essential.
As you spend time together being romantic and discussing your problems, you must have an open mind toward what your partner is telling you.  You need to understand that a lot of the problems in your marriage are caused by – get this – you!  Until you really listen to your partner, you are not going to be able to effect the kind of personal change necessary to save your marriage.
You need to have faith in your partner.  You need to give him or her the benefit of the doubt.  You need to believe that the marriage still can and will work.  You also need to believe that your partner is still essentially the same person he or she was when you married them.  If you cannot have faith in your partner and in your marriage, you might as well give up now.
Finally, you have to be open to forgiveness.  If your partner has made mistakes – even major ones – you must be able to forgive.  If you insist that there are things that cannot be forgiven, there is no hope for your marriage. 
Everyone makes mistakes.  Some people make big mistakes.  If that person makes a genuine apology – which includes acts of contrition and an effort to change – they deserve forgiveness.
This article gave you answers to that perplexing question, “how to save my marriage.”

How To Save A Marriage – Save the Marriage

0


how to save your marriage
Save the Marriage System is a “marriage repair” and “relationship development” program that relies on a deep understanding of the intricate dynamics between couples. That is, you’ll learn the relationship principles working behind every interaction you have with your partner with the intention that this understanding would help you deal with these situations in a more positive and constructive way.

Save The Marriage official site :  www.savethemarriage.com

How To Save A Marriage – What is the Save the Marriage System?


How to save a Marriage – Save the Marriage is authored by Lee H. Baucom, Ph.D. Lee’s academic and industry credentials include two Master’s degrees and a Ph.D. in the field of Marriage and Family Therapy; as well as more than two decades (as of this writing) of marriage therapy practice. He also has a background on Community Building together with Personal and Life Coaching. Other than those self-listed accolades and credentials, there’s not much researchable information on Lee. This isn’t normally the case for someone who has been allegedly in the industry for this long with supposedly many successful clients. In that sense, we should assess his credibility with caution.

Moving on to the program, the introductory chapters talk about the flaws of typical marriage counseling and couple’s therapy. Lee explains the approach that most couple’s therapy practices take and why those particular approaches are fundamentally flawed and unable to solve the core of the marriage problem.

Following that is Lee’s take on marriage counseling – that it’s an issue between two individuals who haven’t successfully moved from a “You & Me” mindset into a “We” paradigm. The rest of the program is about helping move you and your partner from the former to the latter.

For starters, you’ll be shown the recipe of a successful marriage in a form of a Venn diagram. He explains the 3 main elements of a marriage and how these elements interplay to result in a successful relationship.

The next chapter talks about finding, understanding, and committing to the “purposes of your marriage.” Lee emphasizes that it’s different for each couple; and that the most important thing is when you and your partner are clear on your particular relationship’s purposes and are committed to fulfilling them.

You’ll then be provided with some simple marriage secrets and tricks like giving up on arguing without dismissing communication, making progressive decisions, keeping a positive momentum, and how to handle the “lack” of emotions.

These are then continued with how to understand and work along your partner’s viewpoint (i.e. “paradigm”), setting and respecting each other’s boundaries, and practicing a sense of gratitude and forgiveness.

Once you have gone through the “marriage tricks,” you’ll go back to some relationship concepts. Concepts such as the stages of intimacy, relating with your partner on a “high mood,” and living your relationship on the present are opened up and discussed in some detail.

The next topics involve issues of sex and money, both of which are considered by Lee as areas that represent a couple’s struggle for power. Lee then guides you on how to approach these two key areas and use them as tools to create a more harmonious marriage.

The whole program is then closed out with notes on how to continuously grow and evolve in your relationship, as well as some final statements from the author. The last sections include information about Lee’s several other products and marriage counseling services.

The program is broken down into four modules:

1) Save The Marriage Core Program

2) The ‘Top Five Things NOT To Do When Your Partner Wants Out’ Report

3) Quick-Start Guide To Saving Your Marriage

4) Down-N-Dirty Guide To Saving Your Marriage

In addition to the above you’ll also get the following bonus items:


  • Coping With A MidLife Marriage Crisis (audio)
  • Recovering From An Affair (audio)
  • 5 Rules For Fair Fighting Report
  • Change Of Heart ebook


What I like about the Lee Baucom Save the Marriage Program
While going through the modules in the Save the Marriage program, the one thing that stood out to me is that this is NOT the same type of rehashed information that you can get for free or even pay for on the Internet.

The illustrations that he uses throughout helps you to visually grasp the concept that he is explaining. I like the analogies that are present, it helps to get his point across. The one that stood out for me was in Chapter four about the Northstar of your relationship. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that.

The information is not dry or academic, it is well-written and easy to understand. I learned some new words and concepts. This is one of the best marriage help books you’ll find. Dr. Lee Baucom takes a totally different approach to saving a marriage from divorce. It is not the usual run of the mill advice. I had the easy part, all I had to do was read everything, but you dear reader have a lot of work to do and choices to make.
We all know that no product is perfect, so what didn’t I like about this system? Well I would have liked to see a section in the main guide dealing with infidelity. I only say this from the perspective that my blog is about infidelity. However, one of the bonus audio products do cover this topic.. How to save a marriage..

Also, while I was going through the guide, I kept thinking it would be great if the exercises at the end of the chapter were in a separate workbook. This is not a real obstacle because you can always print them out, which is what you were going to do anyway.

What Should I Do to Get My Ex Back

0

When you break up with someone you love, you go through lots of painful emotions.  You feel sad, depressed and hurt, and you miss them.  “What should I do to get my ex back?” becomes a question you constantly ask yourself.
There are many websites, books, blogs, forums and even courses designed to answer the question, what should I do to get my ex back? But common sense can really make a difference after a breakup.  And common courtesy can go long way toward healing your relationship.
If you’re preoccupied with your lost relationship, wondering “what should I do to get my ex back?” then follow this simple advice.  You’ll give yourself the best chance of getting back together with that special someone. 
Don’t play games.  This is very important, but unfortunately many people resort to this during breakups because it gives them a sense of power.  If you can make the other person think that you don’t care, or you care more than you really do, you’re manipulating them and that can feel great.  But it won’t feel great for long.
Eventually you’ll realize that lying and tricking the other person isn’t a good feeling. And anything good that happens because of it will always be sullied a little because of the lie.
Some people play games where they pretend to be dating someone else, or they pretend to be in love with someone else. This is a ploy to make the ex jealous.  While it does work now and then, other times it makes the breakup permanent because it backfires.
Your ex could be so jealous at the thought of you being with someone else that they want you back.  Or they could decide that since you moved on so quickly, you don’t really care about them anyway.  You have no way of knowing which way this ploy will work until it’s too late.
Don’t be mean. This holds true in any situation or any relationship, but sometimes the anger around a breakup makes us act more viciously than we normally might.  Even if you’re hurt, the fact that you want to know, ‘What should I do to get my ex back?” shows that you’re ready to forgive that person.  If you couldn’t, you wouldn’t want your ex back, you’d be glad it was over.
Now, think about how you’ve been acting.  If you were your ex, would you look forward to spending time with you or talking to you?  Or would you dread each time?  Do you shout and nag? Even if you feel like raising all kinds of arguments, simply don’t. Work very hard at controlling your anger and hurt, and being a person they can miss.
“What should I do to get my ex back?” Be on your best behavior and make your ex remember what drew them to you in the first place. They’ll remember your good points and will miss them.  Then you’ll have a better chance of being able to get back together with your ex.
These are just the beginning steps in winning your Ex back. They are the initial steps I followed when I lost the love of my life. And frankly these arent my original ideas. I turned to T Dub Jackson when I had no idea of how to get my true love back.
T Dub authored a simple, down to earth step by step plan called "The Magic Of Making Up". And you know, it worked like magic for us. Now we are more in love than ever.

Secret Relationship Why Keep A Secret

0

A secret relationship could seem exciting at first, but it can also become a burden to keep the secret. There are legitimate reasons for not telling anyone about a relationship. At some point, the burden of secrecy will probably start to strain the relationship and you’ll have to decide whether not keep it a secret relationship.
One of the main reasons for having a relationship with someone secretly is because you worry what other people will think. Maybe your parents or friends would not approve of this person. You should really stop and consider why they wouldn’t approve before having a secret relationship.

Your family and friends really just want what’s best for you in most cases. Now and then there are situations where they just want to impose their will on you. But for the most part, they’re looking out for you.

Do they feel the person will hurt you, or doesn’t treat you right? Has that person given them reason to think the relationship might not be a good one? If they disapprove on those grounds, you can hardly blame them. In fact, keeping the relationship a secret hints that you might not disagree completely.

It could be that you just don’t want to hear their protests. But it also could be that you know they’re not entirely wrong. Otherwise, why not have the relationship out in the open and show them how wrong they are?

If they disapprove of the relationship for reasons that are petty or clearly based on their own issues, then you should ask yourself why you’re having a secret relationship at all. Things like thinking that your partner doesn’t have enough money or class, for instance, would be no reason to hide the relationship.

You may, out of a desire to not have to hear their complaints. But for such a narrow minded reason, you shouldn’t worry about keeping their minds at ease. If they don’t like your partner’s race or even sex, it can be simpler to keep the relationship a secret. But you shouldn’t have to unless you really want to.
Why not show them that you’re your own person and you’re proud of how you feel? By having your relationship out in the open, you’re being more true to yourself and your partner. And maybe you’ll even change their minds about what being a relationship means.

You might even be surprised to find some friends or family members don’t feel the same as the rest. Often, if a family or group of friends is against something, like an interracial relationship, you perceive each person as feeling that way.

But it could be there are a few who didn’t want to speak up and be different. Don’t be too hard on them for not standing up for you and what they believe in. They probably felt outnumbered and didn’t want to hear the arguments. And you’re in a secret relationship, after all, because you didn’t want to have to hear the protests either.

Does Your Marriage Need Help

0

By Carol Ann

Many couples experience their ups and downs, but sometimes it is difficult to understand when your marriage is in serious trouble. What may seem like something serious to one partner may actually seem like little to nothing to the other partner. It is important to understand when your relationship is in real crisis.

Communication. One of the keys to a good marriage is communication. It therefore stands to reason, that a sign that a marriage is failing is when there is a communication breakdown. Ask yourself these questions: Do You and Your Spouse Avoid Speaking To Each Other? Are You Living Separate Lives? Does Every Conversation End Up In A Fight? If you have answered yes to even one of these questions then you need to find a good way to begin communicating positively again. For each couple the steps can be different, but you need to begin to rededicate time and energy to your relationship.

If there is a lack of sexual interest now where there was good sex before there may be a problem. This possibly can be attributed to medical issues if everything else is OK, and that can be resolved by visiting a doctor. But if other issues are present, such as control issues or lack of communication there may be something else underlying this issue. Here an effort to reach out to each other should be made as the physical is important also.

Control issues are not good for relationships as it makes the balance out of whack. This can make one person feel inferior to the other, which causes fear and resentment to arise. There are times when this is going to happen but it shouldnt be ongoing.

Affairs. Many people think that affairs are sexual in nature; however most parties seek out the affection of another in the form of sex to feel closeness and love, and not actually for the sexual relationship. This is just the only way they can find the closeness that they long for. Healing after an affair is possible; however, it can be a while before trust is regained in the relationship. If the trust doesnt return over time, then the marriage can not be saved. - 30535
