Remember in the movie "Ferris Beuller's Day Off" they painted 'SAVE FERRIS' on the water tower? Well, I'm painting 'SAVE YOUR RELATIONSHIP' on the water tower of your mind. It's there, right next to the windmills of your mind, which makes for a really strange landscape.
Statistics show that approximately 50% of marriages end in divorce. One in two. About half of the people you graduated with either are or will end up divorced. But I believe with all my heart that it doesn't have to be that way.
So, whether your relationship is on the rocks right now or not, this is worth reading. You owe it to yourself to put everything you can into making this relationship work. If it fails, at least you know you did your best to make things work.
So, I'm going to share a few tips with you (today and tomorrow) that can help turn your relationship around. Obviously, this will all depend on the underlying reasons for the problems. If the problems are too deeply rooted, it may be too late. Which is all the more reason to follow these tips now!
1. Choose to love your partner. Let's understand something critical to relationship survival. A lot of the feelings that you have when you first meet someone change over time. Just because you don't get butterflies in your stomach every time you see your partner, doesn't mean that you're not in love. Your relationship has matured past what it once was and you must do the same. Make a conscience decision to love your partner - today and every day.
I have more tips for your relationship - but I want #1 to sink in. Think about that today. Think, ponder, repeat.
Stay in touch -
