A marriage crisis doesn’t ever start as a crisis. It may start as a deficit in action or understanding, inattention, neglect, or some small altercation.
But it can spread over time, engulfing the entire relationship in crisis.
Many times, people tell me, “I should have taken action long ago, but _______.”
Fill in the blank with:
· “I didn’t know what to do.”
· “I didn’t know we were in trouble.”
· “I was afraid to do anything.”
· “I was afraid I would make it worse.”
· “I shouldn’t be the one who has to do something.”
Mistakes along the way begin to escalate the marriage problem, until it is a full-blown marriage crisis. Then what?
Then, you have to avoid these 4 mistakes. (My bet is that the first mistake has already been made.)
Learn what the mistakes are, and how to avoid or correct them.
