It's not because of a lack of love, it's because of a lack of something else. No, not sex.
When
you look at the reality of marriage today. My best guess is that about
10%-15% of marriages are happy. Happy doesn't mean that things are just
OK.
A happy marriage means that you are still in love with and
feel a deep connection and passion for your partner. That your life is
enhanced is so many ways because of your marriage and you feel grateful
to have that person to share your life with. After 14 years together,
that's where I am in my marriage. Do you know many people who are really
happily married?
Why do so many couples struggle?
There's
plenty information out there about what to do to fix your relationship.
I have a free report on my website loaded with content that works fast.
I constantly refer people to it who cannot afford my guidance. But,
very few actually look at it. Do they connect with me hoping for the
easy instantaneous miracle after 9 years of misery?
Here's the truth:
Marriage isn't easy. Marriage can be difficult. Any long term
relationship can have challenging moments. Being with another person
isn't always perfectly fun. There will be tough moments.
What do
people do in those difficult moments? They are mostly doing very little.
How are people responding to the challenges in their relationships?
They are mostly responding poorly.
Here's Why: The #1 Thing that people lack is not love, it's not information, it's COURAGE.
It
takes courage to put your partner first. It takes courage to make your
marriage more important than something else in your busy life. It takes
courage to have heart felt understanding for your partner. It takes
courage to admit you are wrong and apologize. It takes real courage to
want something exceptional and have the willingness to do something all
the time to make it happen.
It takes courage to step into
the difficult thing and to do it even when it's really tough and you
don't want to, and you are afraid. Maybe you are afraid of rejection,
afraid of not being enough, afraid of giving and not getting anything
back. Facing all of those fears and doing it anyway requires courage.
