Ep. 130: 5 Things To Try Before Giving Up On Your Marriage

Have you reached the point where you don’t think you can continue in your marriage anymore?

No shame or judgement here. Many of my clients experience these moments, filled with emptiness and exhaustion, where it seems like repetitive conversations yield no progress.

Maybe you’re in a similar position, where your spouse isn’t able or willing to do what you need them to do to have a fulfilling relationship. Or maybe this military life feels like it’s too much. Whatever situation you’re in, feeling like you want to give up on your marriage can happen to ANY one of us.

The last thing we need is to judge ourselves or others. Instead of judging, let’s normalize these emotions. In this episode, I’m sharing five actionable steps to help rekindle your relationship before considering the option of giving up.

We’re exploring:

Reasons you may be pulling back from your spouse (and what to do about it!) 

Your #1 responsibility before communicating with your spouse what you need

How to have a more productive conversation (instead of having the same conversations over and over again without anything changing) 

What I mean by “spreading the love” instead of trying to get it all from your spouse

Why talking to a professional is different than talking to a friend about the relationship with your spouse
