The phone rings.  I answer.  The person on the other end blurts, "I CAN'T SAVE MY MARRIAGE!"  And as calmly as possible, I add "Yet."

Uh?

"I can't save my marriage YET."

Uh?

Many times, people contact me to tell me their marriage can't be saved.  But I am not quite so sure.  It IS possible the person is right.  Not every marriage can be saved.  Before deciding that, though, I want to know more.

Is the person at a "failpoint?"

Does the person have the tools and knowledge needed?

Has the person actually taken action?

Has the action been useful and consistent?

This week, I will tell you why "Yet" is one of my favorite words.  It is powerful.  If you know why.
