How to save your marriage.  Should you quit or keep trying?How do you know whether to keep trying or to give up?  Why are some marriages impossible to save, while others just require more effort?  Are there factors that make a marriage harder to save than others?  Is there a time to stop trying?

I hear these questions every week, as people try to decide whether to keep up the effort or if it is just too late, and if they are too tired.

Let’s be very clear:  some marriages cannot be saved.  It has nothing to do with your efforts.  Perhaps the damage is too great or perhaps a spouse just cannot see the possibility.

There are some common reasons that make a marriage more difficult to save.  In this podcast, I discuss 5 complicators, so you know what you are up against. I also discuss why you might be feeling the need to give up, and how to decide if it is a good reason or not.

150 150 Lee H. Baucom, Ph.D.

Fear.  It is a primal emotion.how to save your marriage, even when you have fear. You can’t turn it off, and sometimes, it seems like you can’t even turn it down!

But letting your fear take control, that is a different matter.  While you can’t stop fear, you can keep fear from ruining your chances of saving your marriage.  You can learn how to keep fear from running your life.

Fear is NOT your friend, even if it pretends to be.  Your response is up to you.  What you don’t want to be is the “rabbit,” frozen in place,  or the “swarm of birds,” running here and there but doing nothing good.  Your fear response is not automatic.

In this podcast, we examine where fear comes from, focusing on the fear that comes from a marriage crisis.

But then we do more.  I tell you exactly what you can do to make sure that your fear does not get in the way of your efforts to save your marriage.  I will teach you how to respond to your fears and what to do to keep the fear to a minimum.

You can’t stop the fear, but you can change your response.  If you change your response, you change the outcome.
