The top 10 myths of marriage.What do YOU believe about marriage?  Is it a myth?  Can it get you into trouble?

Have you ever heard the myth that you marry your “soul mate”?  Well, that myth can cause some pretty big problems.

How about the idea that you should never go to bed angry?  You will end up tired and frustrated.  And yet another myth that can get you into trouble.

Or how about the belief that if there is no passion right now, the marriage is doomed?  Myth.  And one that causes lots of problems.

In this week’s podcast, I have gathered my top 10 myths of marriage, and tried to “myth-bust” them.

Join me for the top 10 myths, and then let me know what other myths you see.

“I Love You, But I’m Not In Love.” What It Means, What To Do: #63

LoveIsAVerbCoveysmall“I love you, but I’m not in love with you.”  That single statement starts more marriage crises than any other sentence.

To be clear, the issues were already there.

It’s just that many times, one spouse does not know how disconnected the other spouse is feeling.

But when that one statement drops, everything changes.  The issues are out there.  The problems begin to emerge.

The festering infection is now brought to the surface.

Sometimes, the infection has been festering for years — maybe even the vast majority of the relationship.

Maybe there have been some attempts to address the marital problems in the past.  Sometimes, a habit here or there has been changed.

But the underlying dynamic that is causing the real marriage crisis, that has eluded efforts.

“I’m not in love with you” can feel like a kick in the gut.  The emotional pain can double you over.

And when we are in emotional pain, we rarely respond in constructive and helpful ways.  The infection can quickly overwhelm the marriage.

But what does that phrase REALLY mean?  Why does it often appear “out of the blue?”  Why is the spiral down so quick after this is spoken?

Let’s talk about this.  In today’s podcast, I help you understand the meaning behind this phrase — and what to do about it!
