I Want To Save My Marriage What Am I Doing Wrong
I really want to save my marriage, but nothing I try seems to work! If that sounds like the thoughts youve been having lately, dont worry, youre not alone. Whether its due to well meaning bad advice or just reacting on emotion, there are thousands of us whove made mistakes that just end up pushing our partners farther away. Once you have an idea of where you might be going wrong, though, you have a much better chance of healing your marriage.
Pressuring your spouse!
Its all too easy to do when youre stressed out, but threatening or guilting rarely help matters. One of the most common forms of pressure is begging. You may not get down on your knees and wail, but if youre pleading, crying, telling your spouse you cant live without them or that theyll destroy the kids lives, it still amounts to emotional blackmail.
Another thing to avoid is trying to pressure your spouse into counseling. Instead of pushing, appeal to logic. For instance, you might say something like Considering all the time weve invested in each other, isnt it worth a few hours of counseling to save that?
Apologizing too...
