You and your spouse get along fine.  You have a great relationship and trust each other at all times.  Then you hear and see signs that make you start to have doubts and questions.   Maybe the marriage is not as strong as you thought.  What happened?

Research indicates that about 50% of marriages will fail.  It is safe to say that no one goes into a marriage thinking the marriage is going to fail.  We all start with great intentions and faith that this marriage is forever.  But then we see the reality of at least half of these people walking through divorce, we have to take a second look at what is actually happening.  

At Rock Solid Families, we get to see first hand how the strength in a relationship can begin to wane.  We see coldness, contempt, jealousy, mistrust, and hurt that wells up and takes over the emotions of the relationship.  From our work we see the absolute need for a couple to state boundaries and to be intentional about protecting your marriage.  Simple things like having friends of the opposite sex, traveling with a work colleague of the opposite sex, searching back for girlfriends or boyfriends from the past, these are just a glimpse of the things we begin to see that open the door to the marriage being damaged or even broken. 

During this show we discuss the more common attacks that we see on the marriage and how a couple needs to defend against such things.  If you or your spouse minimize these actions or even dismiss them, we will tell you it is a "red-flag" in the marriage.  We must take watch and be vigilant about protecting our marriage and family.  We cannot make assumptions that lead us to passivity only to open our eyes and be shocked and dismayed.  

If you or someone you know needs help to restore a broken marriage or learn how to better protect the marriage, please reach out to us at https://www.rocksolidfamilies.org/
