How This One Simple Act Can Save Your Marriage

So, your marriage isn't doing that great. Is the fighting getting worse? Can't seem to talk to each other without throwing word "daggers" at each other?

Have you asked yourself a thousand times how your marriage got to be like this?

Well, you're not alone. In fact, according to research, there are more couples in your situation than you may realize. As a marriage therapist, I have witnessed some of the most hurtful and angry arguments in my office.

Sometimes I'm part referee, part therapist. But, over the years, and within my own marriage of over 20 years, I have seen the wonders of this one simple rule help dissolve hostilities and repair wounds.

I have also come to realize that many of the heated fights that couples have escalated into outright boxing matches because one or both couples are unwilling to try to resolve the argument. Many times the original context of the conflict is forgotten but ends with hurt and pain due to the escalating emotions.

Because of the many layers of hurt and wounds, resentment, bitterness, past issues, stubbornness, and self-preservation, many marriages are on the brink of separation or divorce. But, if applied and practiced regularly by both couples, this one simple rule could save your marriage.
