can you really save a marriage alone

“Why Should I Try? Don’t Tell Me What To Do!”
150 150 Lee H. Baucom, Ph.D.

"You can't tell me what to do!"  Correct.  But IF you want to work on your marriage, I can show you how.  Up to you.Jared was a bit more pointed in his question.  But to be fair, I HAVE been asking for people to submit questions.  And he did.

He told me straight up, “You tell me to connect with my spouse.  Well, I’ve been trying to do that.  If I’ve been trying and it isn’t working, what are you gonna teach me that will make a difference?”

Fair question.

So I responded to it in this episode of the podcast.

Jared continues on about my “Easy” approach to saving a marriage.  So, just to clarify here and in my podcast, I never said “Easy.”  I did say “Simple.”  Many things are simple, but not easy.  Never confuse the two.  My attempt is to simplify the process, so that you do not get overwhelmed.  This is not some “self-working, no effort necessary” approach.  Anyone who claims to have that is simply lying.

On the other hand, I think I can clarify and simplify the process, so that you know exactly what to do.

But I tell you why in the podcast.

And no, Jared, you don not “have” to do anything.  But if you want to do something to work on your marriage, I am here to help.  So, let’s talk.  First, listen to the episode below for my response to your question.
