get emails and phone calls asking, “Why isn’t my marriage turning around? Why aren’t things improving?”
My first assessment is to see how long they have been trying. (I heard from a guy that told me he had spent the afternoon on the marriage, and it was no different!) Sometimes, the timeframe is too short. But sometimes, the efforts have gone along for awhile.
Next, I ask how long the crisis has been going on. Generally, it has been going on longer than the person thinks. They just didn’t know it was in trouble.
After that, the primary reasons why a marriage hasn’t turned (yet) fit within 5 categories.
Your strategy changes, depending upon which category your marriage (or more accurately, your spouse’s response) fits into.
If you can identify the category, you can choose your response for that particular category.
Let’s go through the categories in this episode of the podcast and see if we can plot a course that turns things around.
