how did we get here

blah, Blah, BLAH… BANG

"blah, blah, blah"... BANG!And suddenly… crisis!

(or not)

RARELY does a crisis come “out of the blue.”

Many times, people will tell me that they “had no idea,” or “never saw it coming.”  But then, we start talking.  And they tell me about those little warning signs along the way.  The ones they ignored.  Or that they didn’t fully respond to.

Those signs?  That’s the “blah, blah, blah’s” that come before the crisis.  The “I’m not happy.”  The “something’s not quite right.”  The “I need something to change.”  Those are the “blah’s” that are either missed or ignored.

Or half-heartedly heard.

No real changes.  Just attempts to duck the conflict, to change the conversation.

Here’s the thing:  if you are already at BANG!, you can’t go back and address the “blah’s”.  You do have to deal with the crisis.  But you also want to be clear on how you got here.  How the “blah’s” got missed.  And why you are at BANG!

Let’s talk about it on this week’s episode of the Save The Marriage Podcast.  Listen below.
