Has the crisis in your marriage passed… but you aren’t sure where things are now?
Well, that would put you in good company! I have been asking for listener questions, and noticed this was the theme for quite a few.
What’s the theme? The immediate crisis has passed. The separation or divorce is off the table. The affair is over. The spouse has returned to the home or bedroom. For most, communication was much improved. For many, lots of things had improved.
Several told me how they had used my program and were closer now than ever before.
But….
And this is where there is often some diversity of answers. Things felt stuck/stagnant/in limbo. Physical contact and connection was still missing. Trust was still struggling.
In other words, they had left the crisis phase of things, but were now in a chronic phase. The marriage was not fixed. It just was no longer on life-support.
So, what now?
Well, I discuss it in this episode of the podcast. You can listen below.
