Immutable Law of Marriage: Connection Is The Lifeblood

Immutable Law of Marriage: Connection is the Lifeblood of MarriageMaybe couples take it for granted.  Maybe they never knew.  And maybe they never knew because it was always there.  It was what led to being in love, to wanting to be together.  When it is there, you forget how important it is.  When it is gone, you realize your marriage is in deep trouble — but often only when it hits a critical turning point.

What is it?

Connection.

If a marriage loses connection, the marriage loses the lifeblood.

A friend of mine almost died from a heart attack.  His arteries were nearly clogged — and he never knew it!  Slowly, over time, the arteries were more and more clogged.  Sure, he got breathless.  But isn’t that just a part of aging?  Sure, he was tired.  But wasn’t his job stressful?

The critical incident only required a little clot to blog the rest, and down he went!  He is fortunate to be alive.

And now, once the blockage was cleared, he is feeling great.  He is back to exercising and an active life.  Why?  His blood flow is restored.

The lifeblood of your marriage?  Connection.  If it is blocked off, your marriage is in trouble.

The Immutable Law of Marriage:  Connection is the lifeblood of your marriage.  Listen to the podcast for what that means and how to restore circulation.

Immutable Law of Marriage: It’s About WE

We start a new series this week,Marriage is about becoming a WE. The Immutable Laws of Marriage.

The universe is ruled by laws. Our world is ruled by laws.  And these are not the ones enforced by a governmental agency.

These laws are more akin to, for example, gravity.  If you jump up, you come down, thanks to gravity.  When you trip, gravity takes over and you hit the floor.

You can momentarily escape the law of gravity.  For example, a trampoline can propel you up.  But that “escape” will still end with the law taking over.  The penalty of violation?  Hitting the ground again.

These immutable laws of marriage are like that.  You may violate the law for a bit.  But the violation will come back to bite you.  There will be a price to pay, if you continue trying to violate these laws.

This week, I cover the first law.  I believe it is also the most important.  And it is a law that most people don’t know or understand.  Violating this law may lead to failure of a marriage.  But at the very least, the marriage will not be as strong or satisfying as it could be.

The first law?  “Marriage Is About Becoming A WE.”

Listen below to learn how to abide by this law — and the dangers of violating it.
