Listening to the radio just now, I hear an advertisement for divorce attorneys. The ad said “do you like to get out and do things but your spouse prefers to stay in? Maybe it’s time for divorce.” Then they advised: “Go online to Areyoubraveenough .com to get your new life started today.”
Are you brave enough? Really? Of course some marriages need to end unfortunately but many are encouraged to end their marriage over just about anything, and please avoid getting marriage advice from divorce attorneys. Your thoughts?

Sometimes, couples replay the same argument over and over because it isn't addressing the real problem. In those cases, it may actually be something deeper about the way they expect to relate to each other based on past experience.

They may be fights we never felt safe having with our parents.

You won't get what you want if you don't ask for it. In a relationship, we often hold back out of fear of burdening the other person, but this ultimately leaves both people feeling unfulfilled.

Always watering down what you really want eventually leads to regret.

Protesting louder or escaping an argument by giving an insincere apology won't solve a problem. Instead, we must work together to find what is underlying the conflict.

When couples make the same mistake again and again, they can stay locked in conflict and perpetual gridlock.

Anger is a natural feeling, but a lot of us don't know how to deal with it in a healthy way. We can make anger less of a problem in our relationships by cultivating self-awareness and perspective-taking.

Stop being angry and start getting what you want out of your relationships.

Many couples understand the importance of spending time together but are frustrated that it doesn't seem to be working for them. You may need to work on being more present during those moments, or make sure you're doing something you both enjoy.

1. Be more present in your hellos and goodbyes.

Frequent positive interactions are necessary for a relationship to thrive. Those can be intentionally cultivated through means such as being mindful of times we felt gratitude.

Appreciation goes a long way in ensuring couples go the distance.
