Give Yourselves No Choice But To Work Things Out
One husband who had come very close to divorce told me, “Everything changed when we decided to lock ourselves in this marriage and throw away the key. Even if only one person decides to change the commitment level at first, it is amazing how much things change when you stop saying the ‘D-word’ and instead decide that as much as it depends on you, you truly are in it until death do you part. My wife started to refuse to listen when I would throw out the D-word… and pretty soon it was catching.”
He continued, “We decided that since there was no eject seat, we had to work this out. We had no other choice. It took a few years, but we are so happy today. We love being married. I wish everyone would realize the power of true commitment.”
When we make a total commitment to our spouse, without holding anything back, we end up getting so much more than we give. We get to truly do life as a team—partnered together, for life, no matter what. So go “all in” with your spouse. Commit totally. And watch your marriage thrive.
