Why Marriages Fail... And How To Save Yours

Why Marriages Fail... And How To Save Yours

We all at times have difficulties in our close personal relationships. It’s part of being human. And truth is, things are not always supposed to be easy… But sometimes, those relationships can become a bigger problem than you’d like to admit.

You may be looking at your spouse today and thinking – what happened? Where is the joy and the love we once had for each other? You may be waking up in the same bed, but feeling miles apart.

If this sounds familiar, I’ll tell you exactly what happened.

When you first got married, you were so in love. You had so much fun together, you couldn’t have enough of each other, you felt like you found the most perfect person on Earth.

You had all these wonderful ideas about how great life together would be. How you would complete each other. How you would enjoy your life together, create a beautiful home, and raise a happy family. And how you’d grow old together, by each other’s side.

You expected your life together to look like this:

...and on the surface, for those around you, for your friends and business associates, it can look that way.

But behind closed doors it may be a different story...

Think back about what actually happened.

In the beginning, things were probably going great. You were excited, energized, and happy to see each other, right?

But then things happened. Life happened. And it didn't take long before challenges and arguments showed up.

And they stuck around.

You came up against unforeseen obstacles that you weren’t prepared for, and things haven't gone as planned.

Now, you discover that you have serious differences of options on how to run your lives, raise your children, divide your responsibilities, and so on and so forth.

Next thing you know, instead of playing and having fun together, you spend your time bickering and picking fights.

You regret it after, but just can’t seem to help it in the moment.

Resentment grows and unresolved issues pile up.

And one day you find yourself navigating a terrain full of obstacles, hazards, and landmines.

You feel that a divorce is looming on the horizon... 

And you realize that your life looks more like this:

You want to revive the love you once had for each other, and you’ve tried different things.

Date nights, which either turn into heavy conversations or stick to safe topics that have nothing to do with anything that actually matters.

Read books, which tell you how to behave and how not to behave, what to say and what not to say. 

Go to therapy and talk about who did what when, and who is right and who is wrong.

You realize that by following all these contradicting pieces of advice you lose a sense of who you are supposed to be. And even if you try to be the person you think your spouse wants you to be, you know you'll fail anyways.

Your mind is stuck on your marital problems. Wherever you go, whatever you do, it consumes you.

You are unhappy, angry, and hurt.

Your excitement about life turns into frustration.

You realize that your marriage, your most important relationship that was meant to be your key support system, is about to vanish.

But you know things could be very different…

You just don’t know what to do.

Whatever you try just doesn’t seem to work.

You're stuck in an unhappy, loveless marriage…

…and are about to lose everything you worked so hard to create.

Now, I will tell you WHY this is happening to you.

The answer is very simple – you simply don’t know how to navigate this terrain of challenges in your marriage.

That's all.

You are an expert in whatever you are an expert in.

But you aren't an expert in how to make relationships work.

Remember, I told you at the beginning that things are not supposed to always be easy?

And they may never always be easy.

But if you had the tools and the understanding of how relationships actually work and what you need to do to put your marriage back on track, you can revive your love, and in fact you can have a relationship that's even better than what it was when you first started dating.

There are some key principles you need to know to make your relationship loving and effortless.

And it's not just about learning it intellectually, it's about embracing these tools and this new way of living, so that you will be well equipped and prepared to handle challenges in the future.

And if you want someone to guide you all the way to the other side, without any guesswork or wasted time, our Save My Marriage program will help you recreate your marriage in just weeks. And it has a 100% success rate.

I’m so glad you’re talking about focusing on close personal relationships (especially marriage!) I don’t believe it’s talked about enough on social platforms like this. And when we can have OUTSTANDING personal relationships, we much more likely to have “success” in other areas of our life. It leads to greater overall health, wellness, and vibrant living!!!

Love the part where you discuss all the "fixes" and how frustrating and overwhelming they can be when they aren't right for you, or when you approach them haphazardly.

Great topic, in my own experience setting expectations was something that made it "if it happens this way it is good if not not so good" I learned for me to let go of supposed to happen this way and come more to understanding. Oh, that was after I found the way to be open and stay open, I love my wife and appreciate all the stuff, even the ones that piss me off I know I reciprocate :-). It is a journey and your program I am sure can help so many, I took longer than necessary but so grateful I did!
