Fighting for… Connection


Listen Later

“Should I even keep fighting for my marriage?”, asks “G.”
Oof, that word… “fighting.”  I hear it often.  But so many times, when someone says they are “fighting for” their marriage, they end up “fighting against” their spouse.  The spouse who doesn’t see how to move forward.
Which is rarely helpful for the process.  But I watch person after person “suit up” to do battle, not even sure on what they are fighting.
So, let me clarify that with the question from “E.”  She asked why I always talk about connection… not romance, playing “hard to get,” doing “No Contact,” or reverse psychology.
Those two fit together… the “fighting” part and the “connecting” part.  You are fighting for connection!  For some very specific (and deeply rooted) reasons.
I discuss both in this episode of the Save The Marriage Podcast.
