A lot of people think they can "slide" on their marriage.

They think that problems will just "eventually go away" or "after the kids are gone things will be better" or "If it gets too bad, I'll just leave and meet someone new."

Here's a dose of reality.

None of that is going to happen.

It's not going to get better "later."

You may leave the marriage and find someone new, but it's going to be the same situation with them.

The problems – and the solutions – are right there at home.

They are literally staring back at you in the mirror.

You think that your partner is the problem.

Wrong.  You are the problem.

Now you may think I'm wrong, but I'm not.

The problem is that you can't communicate.

So now it's time to decide whether to get your communication skills in order or…

Die unhappy and unsatisfied when you come to the end of your life.

Do you think things are tough now?

Then try getting old with no one there to comfort you.

Or feeling like no one truly understands you or cares for you.

Try living the single life.

Look, it's time to choose.  Improve your marriage or die alone.

There's really only one way to improve your relationship and that is to learn how to communicate the right way.

Anyone who says "well marriage just isn't that important to me…"  -  now you know what that means.  They have given up.

Anyone who makes a sick joke about marriage is headed for absolute solitude and a sad ending.

People in great relationships get it.  They get the rewards, and they know how sacred it is.

If you want to get it, you have to see how important marriage is and put in an effort to communicate.

Time slips by.

You have maybe one more chance, now take it.

Don't fall into the trap of thinking that marriage is not that important.

Just think how relieved you will feel when you see your relationship improve… because you know how to communicate better.

Ahhhhh, so much better.

That's why I created this for you

Jenna hates "girl movies"

Hi, this is Dr. Max, marriage counselor and bestselling author.

One of my readers, Jenna,  wrote me that she can’t stand watching "chick flicks" anymore.

Used to love them.

She won’t even go out with her friends to see any

See, all that talk about love makes her feel bad.

All that yearning for love makes her sick to her stomach.

It makes her feel like she has a hole in her stomach that can’t be filled.

She is in a relationship… with the man she once felt blind love for.

Where did it go?

She’s married, but feels complete separation from Rob, her husband.

It’s not that she hates him or anything like that.

She actually likes him.

But as she says, it’s ironic.

They are in the same house, but it’s like they are strangers.

Marriage just isn’t what she hoped it would be.

She dreamed of closeness and having a soul mate.

Meanwhile Rob feels the same way.

He doesn’t know who this person is he’s married to.

They say it’s like they are roommates.

They don’t fight.

They just don’t really talk.

Yes, they function and get the kids to school and pay bills.

But there’s a void there,

Why?

Because they don’t know how to communicate.

They just now got my course, which is why I know them.  They both wrote me.

They are hopeful and they should be

They have some big positive surprises coming.

Once they know some simple skills of communication, they’ll notice thawing.

They’ll find their love again.

I’ve seen it happen over and over again because of

Ever get into the middle of one of those arguments with you partner and you can’t even remember what you were fighting about?

Well there’s a great reason for why that happens.

It has to do with a trigger that goes off in your brain when you draw certain conclusions from what you are hearing.

You have to manage that trigger. 

How are you going to manage it if you don’t even know it’s there?

It’s like a loaded gun and you have to unload it and then for extra measure put the safety on.

Anna and Rick used to find themselves in that spot frequently.

They felt that trigger go off and then felt they couldn’t help it, like it became inevitable that they would fight.

They’d be fighting and each wondering, why the bleep are we doing this?

And finally what the bleep are we even arguing about?

But there they were all over again.

They loved each other but there they were once again going at each other.

The relationship was deteriorating almost on a daily basis.

Until I showed them the "Refocusing" technique.

They both burst out laughing… "that’s us!" they said.

Now they really don’t argue at all.

Because they have this and the other 12 techniques, they have a brand new relationship.

Even though they’ve been together 22 years, they say it’s "like a brand new marriage."

That’s because now they can communicate.

They didn’t go to a therapist

They just used this course:  Now You Can Communicate
