What gets in the way of you getting traction in your efforts to save your marriage?These days, there is one very substantial reason... one thing that keeps you (and many others) from making progress. And it is only accelerating. What is it? Distraction. Yep, it absolutely gets in your way, pulling you away from what is most important. Pulling you away from priorities and opportunities. What is the antidote? We talk about it in this week's Save The Marriage Podcast. Listen below. RELATED

How to Save Your Marriage When You Hate Your Spouse

The Save The Marriage Podcast ·

2025/10/22

A listener had a question... and it isn't the first time I've heard it. How DO you save your marriage when you feel hate for your spouse? That does seem impossible to get beyond, doesn't it?I have some news for you: many people (if not MOST) who are working on saving their marriage are NOT having warm and fuzzy feelings for their spouse. In fact, they are likely to be just as hurt, just as frustrated, and just as unsure as their spouse. But there is a difference: They think that working on

Can AI Save Your Marriage… Or End It??

2025/10/15

Are you an AI user? Do you find yourself chatting with AI about things in your life?How about regarding your marriage?? If you are using AI as a resource to save your marriage, I have one suggestion: STOP! Over the past few years (as AI chats have become more popular), I have heard from more and more people about how AI marked the end of their marriage. Some reported a spouse becoming enamored with the chat. Some reported a spouse "discovering" from AI that they needed to end the marriage

2025/10/08

Do you ever start on some new habit you heard about, maybe about the best diet or exercise, only to find that it isn’t true later on? And have you ever discovered it was actually even worse for you? (Just think about margarine or “low fat” diets, or even diet drinks!)You think you are doing the right thing, and it turns out the “right thing” is actually the wrong thing. And you are even worse off than before! Your marriage is in trouble and you want to save it. So, you start gathering your

Affairs and Their Aftermath

The Save The Marriage Podcast ·

2025/10/01

Question: does an affair cause marital problems or do marital problems cause affairs?Answer: YES. Longer answer: for the majority of affairs, weak points in the marriage create a vulnerability to infidelity. There is another necessary element... but problems do cause vulnerability. But when infidelity is committed, the problem deepens. Affairs end up creating both a personal and a marital crisis... often for both spouses. And then, there is the aftermath... what comes AFTER the affair is

Why You’re Fighting… and What to Do

2025/09/24

Have you found yourself in the middle of an argument, toe-to-toe with your spouse, with that little part of your brain saying, "why am I even arguing over this? It doesn't matter"?I ask, because I have had that experience MANY times in my life, both with my wife and with others. It is tragic that those arguments erupt in all our lives. They are not the big things, but the small things. And that is the tragic part: many marriages die from a thousand nicks. It is often not the big deals, but

Feeling Stuck?? No Closer??

What do you do when your spouse has shifted back toward you… some… but is still distant? More distant than you would like?Do you have to just accept it, accept the lack of intimacy and connection? Is that the relationship you are stuck with? Some connection. Still married. But not the warmth, love, and connection you do want? That is the question posed to me. Mary reports that her husband returned after a number of months of separation. But now, some time later, after his return, the

Getting Better or Getting Bitter

The Save The Marriage Podcast ·

2025/09/10

I often watch people move toward one of two possibilities when a marriage is in trouble: Getting Better or Getting Bitter. One letter difference, but what a difference in destination.One leads a couple to a rewarding and loving relationship, improving and stabilizing: Better. The other leads to more anger, more resentment, more distance, and further deterioration: Bitter. Here is the irony: many times, the person proclaiming a desire to work on the marriage, to get it turned around, is the

Getting Your Spouse to Agree?? Dangerous!

I know. You want to convince your spouse to see things your way. So, you set out to "get" your spouse to agree with you....And you have now begun walking down a very dangerous path. (I bet you didn't think so, did you?) Almost always, trying to get your spouse to agree will backfire -- and even make things worse. Sometimes, much worse. Can I share with you why this can be so dangerous and how to avoid this problem? This is something you want to fully understand. (If you want a better way,

The 3 Layers of Connection

The Save The Marriage Podcast ·

2025/08/20

Connection is the lifeblood of marriage. In fact, we are wired for deep connection. And while the connection works best within the marriage relationship, it is not singular.Many couples find connection in only one or two areas, missing that second or third layer of connecting. Often, over time, this begins to eat away at the connection a couple shares. Disconnection tends to breed disconnection. When there are areas missing, they begin to chip away at the other areas. But connection tends to

“How hard is it to save my marriage?” the email started. The writer wanted my opinion on whether my System would work. There was a problem, though. The problem was… I had no details about her marital problems. I didn’t know what she was facing.When I was a kid, the rubik’s cube came out. There was this book that promised to solve the cube, no matter how bad the cube was arranged. I just kept trying to turn and twist the cube to find a solution. My neighbor friend got the book.

Can It Be Saved?? How to know…

The Save The Marriage Podcast ·

2025/08/06

Can you save your marriage??That is, to be honest, probably the biggest "speed bump" for someone who wants to save their marriage. They wonder if it is even possible to save their marriage. And that fact keeps them from taking action. Or to be more direct, may be what is keeping you from taking action. Many people have said that if I could guarantee that they could save their marriage, they would get started. I have often pointed out that NOT trying pretty much guarantees it can't be saved.

Having Hope

2025/07/30

Your spouse thinks it’s hopeless. You may even be wondering that, too. But is it? Is it hopeless?Or is the problem that your spouse is hopeless — not the situation? Let’s be honest: if you give up hope, it may become a hopeless situation. Sometimes, having hope is not based on seeing the way. We find the way because we hold onto hope. In one of my books, Beyond the 3 Barriers, I note that one barrier for your spouse is hopelessness. I also note that one way to move beyond your spouse’s

Are You Getting Dragged Under??

2025/07/16

Every marriage crisis starts as a crisis of an individual. As it expands into the marriage, the question is whether you, the spouse, will get pulled under by the crisis.Have you ever tried to save a drowning person? This can be kind of like that. Get too close, and they will drag you under with them. Their desperation will overcome any sensible decision. Running purely on terror, they will flail, grab, and pull at anything that is nearby... and anyone. And when someone is in crisis, it can

Are You Dragging a Spouse to Therapy??

2025/07/02

The email said, “I talked my spouse into going to therapy.” Another one asked, “How do I drag my spouse to therapy?” Oof. The first person was proud of the “convincing.” The second person got my response:You Don’t! (Unless, of course, you want to damn the process from the very beginning… and in that case, drag away!) Marriage therapy tends to be the default response to a marriage crisis (although the stats would not support this as the preferred action). If there is a problem, time to head to

Proving Your Viewpoint (Is Dangerous!)

The Save The Marriage Podcast ·

2025/06/18

I can’t count how many times a couple has come to me for “help with our communication skills.” Funny thing is, they communicate just fine.Then why are they stuck in conflict? Why are they disconnected? Why does it seem like they aren’t on the same team? Viewpoints. About each other and about the situation that caused the conflict. And because they have decided to prove their viewpoint to their spouse. That is very dangerous. Rarely is it successful, but always is it damaging. There are 2
