So, what are four words that can save your marriage?
Hi, Cody Butler here, marriage coach and founder of Better Marriage. Today, I want to talk to you about four words that can help save your marriage, and those four words are: “I know I’m wrong.” I know it sounds silly, but these four words provide hope back into the relationship. It can relieve tension and end the stalemate and loggerhead.
So, if someone is wanting to leave a relationship, it’s because all hope is lost. When hope leaves the relationship, one or both parties also leave the relationship. Most people tend to stick around as long as there’s some hope for the relationship. But once that hope is gone, then there’s no reason to stick around anymore.
So, if your marriage is in trouble, the key to bringing it back from critical condition is to inject hope back into the relationship. The easiest way to do that is to acknowledge and confess the problems. Nine times out of ten, or even more, the person who is leaving the relationship has an issue with the other person, and the other person hasn’t really acknowledged that issue.
How can the person leaving have any hope of this relationship being resolved if the person with the problem isn’t even acknowledging it? So, if you have a partner that’s leaving, they probably have an issue that you’re not acknowledging. By acknowledging that and saying, “I know I’m wrong,” on this issue, and I’m willing to change and accept that I’m wrong and look for help, it injects hope back into the relationship.
Now, how long is this going to save your marriage? Probably not very long. It’s not going to buy you much time at all, but it will buy you some time to start demonstrating. So, if you admit you’re wrong and use those four words, and your partner says, “Okay, well let’s see,” you’ve got to start taking action right away to rectify that issue.
As long as your partner can see that you are sincerely trying to rectify those issues, there’s hope in the relationship and the chances of them staying are very good. If you want some training on how to do this, if you want a free workshop on how to get more intimacy and improve your marriage. So this article is useful for you.
Bless you, all, and we’ll talk to you very soon.
