One Question That Can Save Your Marriage

Every month, a man struggling in his marriage emails me with a simple question.

How can I save my marriage?

Maybe you’re asking yourself this question. Or you’re avoiding it.

Or you’re not even sure if your marriage is worth saving.

You might be saying things like…

“She’s just not open to me.”

“She doesn’t trust me.”

“I know I haven’t been the best to her always. I want to be better moving forward.”

What can you do when your marriage is in crisis?

Maybe you’ve tried therapy, workshops, video courses, and it seems like nothing helps.

Maybe it feels like a lost cause.

I can relate, having been married for 20 years.

Often, I just showed up with my wife, avoiding her and the state of our marriage.

It was a way to get through my days, to get through work, and try to be a good dad.

And that worked for a long time until… it didn’t.

I had hit what a colleague of mine calls the relationship breakpoint.

Are you at a break point in your marriage?

You are if you’re asking yourself if your relationship is worth saving.

You’re at a break point if you’re wondering how long you can continue on in your marriage.

Of course, this is a super tough place to be in. And thousands of men are in the same situation right now.

At the break point, we often see the problem, but we don’t see the solution.

We focus on the problem as if it’s something that needs to be fixed so you can be happy.

And yet I invite you into a deeper experience.

What’s beneath the question of – can I save my marriage?

The truth is, the problem isn’t her distance or her disappearing on you. It’s the impact that it has on you

The sense of hopelessness, that you can’t do anything right, that things can’t be improved.

The power of expert relationship coaching lies in the power of the question asked.

    I know the way for me to turn toward her is to be strong and base my self worth on me, not her view of me… But she’s good, over our 31 years of marriage she’s better at getting what she wants, at controlling me instead of me controlling me. She can twist and manipulate a situation like a magician. I’m often in trouble with her and she’s never in trouble with me.
    Recently she wanted to rush home after picking up our daughter from college, I wanted to slow the day down. She’s requested similar many times and gets me on defensive like I’m rushing her.
    Somehow this turned into I have bitterness and anger towards her that will affect my health? And my only response was “ maybe I do have anger and bitterness toward you”.
    I read your 17 page booklet and realize that I can’t let her dictate everything that I have to find myself and not be trying to appease her in every situation, lord knows she doesn’t try to appease me.
    Thanks for the outlet!
