Marriage Stories That Inspire

Messed Up V Day Last Year? It’s Never TOO Early

I’m running errands with our youngest tonight on Friday night.

What are you doing on Friday night?

But all I’m seeing and we went to Michael’s and – what’s this place called?

Everywhere Valentine’s Day stuff.

I can’t, you can’t make this up — the whole wall, the whole wall and then there’s another wall like right behind me.

Do you have a plan yet for Valentine’s Day?

How do you feel last year?

Did you mess up real big or was it a really great day what are you planning for this year?

Don’t wait till it’s too late.

I don’t know when it’s too early but I do know that there’s such time as too late.

I mean, I don’t know you could start with this, but of course you could also get the real thing.

It’s up to you just do something think about it ahead of time and plan it do something for your wife.

Do something for your husband.

That’s all.

YOUR Husband DO This? Marriage Story that Inspires!

Here’s a question for you: Is your husband a call away?

We had a thing happen today.

I don’t usually go to my office on Saturdays, but the key got stuck.

We couldn’t get it in or out.

It just was in there; it was the wrong key—story for another day.

We couldn’t get it moving one way or the other.

So, what do I do?

I try and then I had to call my husband and say, “Hey, honey.”

He gave us a couple of ideas.

I tried them, but none of that worked.

He’s like, “I’ll put some tools together and I’ll be on my way.”

So, I got in the car, he made the trek all the way to my office, and got stuck—bless his heart.

I don’t even know what he was doing in the middle of his Saturday.

How would this go down if this was your marriage?

A Story to Inspire Your Marriage – TEENS Know RE: MARRIAGE?

Do you think your teenagers have anything to say to you or teach you about marriage and what to do and what not to do?

I spent the day today driving teenagers around.

It was our eldest’s birthday, and so they did a little shindig with some girlfriends, and I was the designated driver for the day.

I was listening to them yap about all the things, and some of it being, “Here’s how this friend got in trouble because they haven’t been able to figure it out.”

Somebody in the back seat says, “Well, it’s all really, when you think about it, it all just comes down to communication.”

Communication truly is at the heart of it all.

You have no idea, it took everything in me to not start laughing out loud.

Because the reality is, if you must know, this comes up three, four, five times in my practice seeing couples.

What it comes down to, the thing that it boils down to, is communication and our inability to communicate about things.

To bring things up, to talk about the hard stuff, talk about the easy stuff, talk about the scheduling—like, that is where it all fails.

And guess what?

It’s your lucky day because I talk about communication on this channel all the time.

So, if you’re looking for help with how to communicate with your spouse better, hit the button, subscribe, and look for the next video.

I’ll see you there!

I hope this marriage story will inspire you in your marriage!

THIS Marriage Myth – You BELIEVE It?

Time does not heal all wounds.

In fact, in marriage, it does the very opposite.

Let me tell you how.

When you have something that you two need to talk about and you keep pushing it off—waiting a day, maybe a week or two—until then you forget that it happened, it actually serves the opposite.

It doesn’t heal wounds, it creates wounds.

Because it creates more and more resentment.

The more and more that you put on that pile of, “Now we don’t even remember what I’m angry about, but I am angry about something,” or “I’m still upset,” or “I’m still disappointed,” but it’s all been pushed out of your sight and you still haven’t talked about it.

So, the next time that you find yourself telling yourselves that “time heals all wounds,” remember this:

Remember that it’s actually better to look at the thing right in front of you and stop putting it away, pushing it out of sight.

Deal with it head-on.

And I’m not saying do it in the middle of the fight or in the middle of the emotion when emotions are super high.

You should not be having that conversation—that is not what I’m saying.

But I am saying, don’t just keep waiting in hopes that it will go away as time goes by.

Because that is not how that works.

And if you’ve ever done this, you know that I’m right.

WARNING! Before You SKIP V-Day

About Valentine’s Day.

Maybe you two have been together for a really long time, and maybe you don’t actually care about it at all.

That’s okay.

But do you know that for sure?

This only works in this one kind of scenario: so long as you both don’t care about it, you don’t have to do anything.

If you’re unsure if your spouse, if your wife or your husband, doesn’t care in the same way that you don’t care, it allows you then to do nothing.

To not think about it, to not plan for it, to not engage in any sort of special way on that day.

If you are unsure, I recommend that you ask so that you don’t find yourself in a pickle the day after Valentine’s Day again.

Because guess what?

You won’t have a chance to do something different or repair it for a whole another year.
