how to save a marriage when one wants out

Are You Forward-Facing (Or Rear-Watching)?
150 150 Lee H. Baucom, Ph.D.

Are you Forward Facing or Rear Watching in your relationship?  Your marriage is saved by going TOWARD what you want!Which way are you facing in your relationship?  Are you looking toward where you want to be, or looking back at where you have been?

I’ve noticed that as a rule, when I am driving my car, I am better served by looking out the windshield than looking in my rear-view mirror or turning around and staring out the back window.

Turns out that is pretty much true in life, too.  When we get focused on looking backward, at where we have been, we rarely get to where we want.

Many people, and many couples, stay focused on what is behind them.  Nothing can change, nothing will shift, but there they watch.  The history becomes the focus.

If that is the case for you, let me suggest you shift your focus.  Face forward and lets decide where to go, not be caught in where you’ve been.

Listen to the training below.
