It’s a
fact of life that sooner or latter, most married couples will
face their share of relationship trouble. Unfortunately, no marriage
is perfect, as most couples can attest to. There is just a multitude
of marriage problems that couples can be faced with. A recent
survey revealed that the 5 most common marriage problems are:
1. Infidelity
2. Constant
low-grade bickering
3. Money
issues
4. Neglect/silent
treatments
5. Boredom/lost
spark
Your marriage
trouble may also stem from one or more of these issues. If so,
you and/or your spouse probably feel you don’t get enough attention
from each other. You may also think you’ve done your share of
talking (or fighting) over the issues. So what do you do when
you’re caught up in a web of problems, and can’t seem to talk
your way out?
Why not
try something that doesn’t require talking? You can breath new
life into your marriage right now, just by TOUCHING your spouse
more. Now, it’s possible you may not feel like it at the moment.
You may be thinking, I haven’t touched my spouse for days, maybe
weeks. DO IT ANYWAYS- you need to make the effort to connect with
him/her through touch. This simple action requires some discipline,
but start doing it regularly and watch your marital situation
turn around.
Just try
it- REACH OUT AND TOUCH YOUR SPOUSE TODAY. Make it clear that
you're touching them solely to connect in that moment. Try a warm
kiss or a gentle rub. Stroke their cheek or play with their feet.
It only takes a moment, but the positive energy can carry you
through an entire evening.
Done consistently,
the act of touching will produce a softer, more forgiving marital
environment. This will allow you to approach your marriage trouble
from a better perspective, which will result in more success solving
the issues. And it works for all couples, no matter how severe
their relationship problems may be.
You see,
touch creates more than just a physical connection. It makes us
feel different inside. When you caress your spouse's hand, play
with their feet, rub their shoulders, or stroke their cheek, there's
a moment there (if you do it RIGHT) when your spouse knows that
you are completely connected with them. And this feeling makes
all the difference in helping you deal with marriage trouble.
Fill your
marriage with a few of those moments each day and watch your relationship
trouble start to dissipate. Take action, touch your spouse, and
begin the journey of transforming your marriage.
