These three tips  will give  you a good start in talking to your child about Arnold Schwarzenegger’s infidelity

The revelation that Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a child with a household staff member can go from shocking to nerve-wracking when your child is sitting beside you. For a certain type of parent, questions abound: Should I turn off the radio or television and try to limit my child’s exposure to the sex scandal?..

These tips may not be the end of the conversation with your child about marriage, divorce, infidelity, as a matter of fact it may open up more conversations, giving you a opportunity to help your child sort out his/her feelings about some very diffiuclt issues.

"It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to the belief.  And once the belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen."

Claude M. Bristol (1891 – 1951) American author of "The Magic of Believing.

The opposite can happen too.

The repetition of negations or negative statements can create just as deep a belief and conviction.

Mentally keep track of the numbers of times per day you think neutral or negative things about your spouse.

"She doesn't really love me"  "He's very inconsiderate"

versus

"He really does everything he can for me and the family, he's a champ" or "What a loving person she is"

Count them and you'll see how it turns out.

If you are unhappy there are a lot more of the negations than the affirmations.

If you are happy then there are a lot more of the affirmations than the negations.

It's a mathematical certainty.

Get it?

Think it isn't as simple as I make it out to be? 

It is that simple, if you make a couple changes

Here's how to make a change and turn it around

marriage advice for the sad

Janet Jackson sings:

I never ask for more than I deserveYou know it’s the truth
You seem to think you’re God’s gift to this earth
I’m tellin’ you… no way.
You ought to be thankful for the little things
But little things are all you seem to give
You’re always puttin’ off what we could do today
Soap opera says you’ve got one life to live
Who’s right who’s wrong?
ohhhh, what have you done for me lately?

 

Good question…But it needs to be turned around!

"Live has a value only when it has something valuable as its object." George Hegel.

In no place in life is having something valuable as your object as it is in your marriage.

Marriage is not just a social arrangement, it's something far deeper and more meaningful.

It is in fact one of the fastest, deepest and most effective ways to deepen your spiritual life.

Many people seek to have a richer and better spiritual life.

Often they turn to esoteric practices such as meditation, yoga and chanting.

All of that is fine, but completely unnecessary.

Take a deep breath and look into the eyes of your beloved spouse.

Start there.

See who is really there, the person he or she really is.

If you are having trouble even imagining doing that because of the past or because of your own resentments or for some other reason…

Look here for some guidance to get you there:

.“The soul that has no established aim loses itself.”
Michel Eyquem De Montaigne (1533-1592, French philosopher, essayist)

In marriage, just like in any other human endeavor, it's important to have goals.

Most people drift aimlessly through life and aimlessly through their marriage.

What are your goals in your marriage?

I don't mean your wishes as in "I wish my husband would take me dancing"

I mean your goals.

Specifics that you are going to work toward, to achieve, to have a happy marriage.

Patience may be a virtue but it can also cause more problems.

Most of the time when things are going wrong in your marriage, it's bad to wait.

What happens is that small things build up and accumulate.

Maybe something that's "no big deal" right now becomes a big deal tomorrow.

You let something go, a comment about your in-laws.

Maybe a little flirtation you saw your husband have with a woman.

Maybe a parenting question.

You let it go because you don't want to fight.

But at the same time, it sticks in your craw.

But what are you supposed to do about it, fight about everything?

NO.

What you are supposed to do about it is to have a plan to deal with things NOW.

Something simple and quick and easy.

Something you understand.

Something which is not therapist gobbledegook.

But at the same time is solid professional help.

That's why I made Ten Days to Save Your Marriage.

You can use it five minutes from now.

Here's where to find it.

Bless you and yours,

One of the most devastating things you can discover is that your partner is having an affair.

Especially when you had no clue.

Especially when you truly felt that your life together was very good.

Maybe not perfect… but very good.

Overly clever therapists and other "relationship helpers" like to say it's partly your fault.

I think that is not only cruel, it misses the point.

The point is when you are betrayed you have to reconstruct your whole life.

It rips you apart like almost nothing else in your life will.

And THEN all kinds of people have advice for you.

They tell you to "move on" but no one tells you how.

For decades I've seen people struggle with being in your position.

Betrayed, confused, not knowing what to do next.

I want to share with you what I've told them.
