I know. I say it all the time. Connection is crucial — even critical — for the health and survival of your marriage.
But what if there is a trap… a Connection Trap?
Guess what?
There IS!
On this week’s podcast, I answer “D’s” question about their stuck place. She names what she thinks are the 3 C’s that must be there for a strong marriage. She names Commitment, Connectivity, and Chemistry. Those aren’t bad choices. They just set a trap.
A trap I want to warn you about!
But first, let me make it clear: I wholeheartedly agree with commitment. It is the guiding star for any marriage. And it is critically important for guidance as you navigate your marriage crisis. It can keep you pointed toward safe-harbor while you work on healing.
The trap, then, is with the other two. No, I am not against connection (it is at the heart of my approach in my System). I get concerned with how people expect connection to work. And that is the trap. Chemistry is another complicator to the trap.
Listen in below as I discuss The Connection Trap.
