Can You Save Your Marriage When the American Dream Is Hijacking It?

Posted on adminPosted in Relationship Advice

Nearly half of Americans live check to check and have no time to nurture relationships.

Are we living the American dream?

According to a new poll 43 percent of Americans live check to check and couldn’t pay their bills if they missed one month of work.  It’s no wonder why it’s such a struggle to save your marriage. You have no time and no energy to give.

In today’s blog I will show how you got into this mess (don’t worry it’s not all you) and actionable steps to get out.  Let’s take a closer look as to how this all goes down.

The American Psychological Association reports in their latest study that 75 percent of Americans have financial stress and a survey conducted by Citibank stated that 57 percent of divorces cited money problems as their reason for dissolving the marriage.

Is The American Dream More Than Stress And Chaos?

Grind, rinse, repeat, is NOT what our founding fathers had in mind.

Americans are in a constant cycle of chaos.  So much that it’s impossible not to ask (at least a few times,) “Is this it?”

According to a Harvard study we have increased our use of anti-depressants by 400 percent. That’s not okay.  By the end of this article you’ll see why this number is skyrocketing, and how to create change so that you don’t become part of the statistic.

Millions of Americans, just like you, are like the elephant tied to the tiny stake at the circus. And Society and it’s standards are our ring leader.  They make us believe that there’s only one way, but just like with the 13,000 pound african authority, you too can set yourself free.

Communication Blunders: Are They To Blame For Your Failing Relationship?

Posted on adminPosted in Relationship Advice

The #1 down fall in marriages is lack of communication skills.  

But is your relationship success dependent on how well you communicate or could it be more? According to the University of Georgia effective communication is not as crucial as once predicted.  

Almost every couple that comes in for marriage counseling searches for communication skills.  And yet, when I sit with the same couples I see that they communicate just fine.  For example, if you think that your partner is a lazy, inconsiderate waste of space, I bet he hears you loud and clear.  

Couples are NOT bad communicators.  They are terrible listeners.
