Five Ingredients That Will Save Your Marriage

FUTURE

If you read this blog at all, you know I'm a big fan of Family Tree Counseling's You Tube channel.

If you're married and cheating-or-about-to cheat, what's your future?

The Fabulous Mark Smith on the Five Ingredients You Need to Save Your Marriage. (In short, here they are, but the video is linked up there.)



1.)     Let psychological walls down and be highly motivated—not to “not get divorced,” or to “save the marriage so we don’t have the public embarrassment and the financial problems of a divorce,” but to fix your OWN brokenness. Be disturbed about YOUR OWN dysfunction, have insight into how messed up YOU are and be motivated to work on THAT. 


2.)    Be teachable. Know how much you don’t know and be open to feedback in your therapy.


3.)    Pain informs you that something is desperately wrong with YOU. Consider it a gift.


4.)    Trust in the process of therapy.


5.)    Be willing to read books and watch videos and do your homework.
