The Number One Thing that Destroys Marriages

Dec
16

 

Watching my parents interact and function as a team while I was growing up, I found their system to work perfectly. They would never argue in front of us and permanently worked in cohesion. If I questioned my mom if I could do a upset and she said no, I’d go to my dad and question him. His first question would permanently be, “Did you question your mom?” and I’d shamefacedly say, “Yes.” Then he’d say, “Well, what did she say?” Shamefully, I’d admit she said no. The same thing would happen if I questioned my dad first and then tried to get a yes out of my mom. They worked as one unit.

When two people first get married, they become one unit.

And this is the goal of wedding ceremony: to daily stay as ONE unit.

Division, discord, lack of unity, and lack of oneness I believe is the number one thing that destroys marriages.

What You Need to Know About Divorce

Did you know that conflict is not the number one reason why marriages end in divorce? In actuality, habitual forestalling of conflict is the number one reason marriages end in divorce according to Smart Marriages.

This is related to not having “oneness” because both parties are maintenance equipment from each other in order to avoid conflict, therefore they are not “one” in mind.

A further thing in divorce is that people “grow apart” and “fall out of like.” Or as one commenter place it, “We have drifted apart, and neither of us is really sure why this has happened.” Again, this “growing apart” or “drifting apart” is a result of not maintaining “oneness” through a long period of time. Eventually, you don’t know what the other person wants or needs and therefore they “fall out of like.”

All Wedding ceremony In rank is Related to Oneness

When people make suggestions about how to have a strong wedding ceremony, it’s permanently related to maintaining that oneness.

  • You don’t go to bed mad because you don’t want to be at war with yourself–because your partner is now a part of you.
  • You don’t talk terribly about each other behind each other’s backs because again, if your spouse is part of you, would you really defame yourself? Would you really talk terrible about yourself?
  • You have sex not just to have babies, not just to give each other pleasure, but because it’s a corporal act that again reinforces “oneness.”


Oneness is CRAZY Stuff

I wonder how marriages would change if each person realized the miraculous, divine thing that happened at “I do.” This person is now a part of you, not just someone that’s going to be by your side through it all. Their being is intertwined with yours.

It’s pretty crazy if you reckon about it.

How to Promote Oneness

And this is why I promote “oneness” in equipment like having a joint account. The significance of having a joint account is that you are saying what I make is now ours, what you make is now ours. We are building “our” future together. If I spend cash, I reckon about how it affects not just me but us. If my career takes off, we both share in the blessing and visa versa. It is not his and hers, it’s ours- through the promotions, through the layoffs. It is our joy to share, or it is our headache to deal with. It is our suffering or our celebration.

This is what happens when you don’t have a “oneness” mindset when it comes to cash. I choose with Gavin. Her book sales are “their” accomplishment. I wonder who would disagree with me? I’d like to know your take in the comments below.

Aside from huge equipment like joint accounts, you can promote oneness in even the smallest equipment.

You can promote oneness by sharing in household chores instead of labeling “you do this, I do that.”

Place all your laundry together. Instead of maintenance your laundry separate, place all your laundry together. Whoever notices it’s full, they do the laundry. There’s much less conflict in that than trying to keep score and keep equipment even with household chores. If one partner has more free time or works less, then genuinely they would “notice” the laundry a lot more.

Instead of packing just your lunch, pack both lunches. Instead of just having tv shows that one person likes and other tv shows that the other person likes, why not also make time to search for shows you both like?

Instead of having just separate times of prayer or bible examine, why not share this time together also?

Instead of competing in games, why not invite a further couple over and be on the same team?

Instead of ordering separate meals and sitting opposite each other at restaurants, once in a while, why not sit next to each other in a booth and share a meal- appetizer, main course and dessert?

And probably the most vital thing, if you have a conundrum with your spouse, why not make it a rule NOT to talk to others but instead to your spouse? (at the very least make it a point to not talk to others unless you have FIRST talked to your spouse)

In everything you do, you can reckon of ways to make “oneness.”

The Dynamics of Oneness In Each Gender

Often times men feel more of that “oneness” connection when they are getting adequate affection (non-sexual) and sex. (corporal oneness)

Women on the other hand feel more of that “oneness” connection through costs quality time together, sharing in laughter, the events of the day, view and thoughts that spring up, sharing what went on at work and what’s going on with friends and family. (An emotional oneness)

Crazy thing is, when a woman feels that emotional oneness, she is more keen and more easily turned on physically. And for men, when they feel that corporal oneness, they also feel more keen to engage in emotional oneness.

This is why it’s a terrible terrible thought to “punish” your husband by depriving him of affection or sex because you feel like he is not meeting you emotionally.

And this is also why it’s a terrible terrible thought to “punish” your wife by stonewalling her, avoiding coming home, finding other activities that don’t involve her, or tuning her out because you don’t feel like she is meeting you physically.

How Oneness Solves Marital Discord

Whenever you’re feeling like you’re not getting your needs met, you don’t feel like giving your partner what they need. That’s the last thing you want to do. And that’s when you reckon about oneness. You reckon, I’m not doing this for him or her, I’m doing this for our bond. I’m doing this for “us.”

Because wedding ceremony has the man, the woman, and then they choose every day with every action if there is an “us.” The “us” needs to be prioritized above the “me.” This is a way to deal with the times that you don’t feel like he deserves it, or you don’t feel like she deserves it. But your relationship, your bond, the thing you’ve vowed to be a part of until you die, that “us” deserves your unselfish giving.

She Broke Up With Me

Jun
19


What if you, like Hugh Hefner, are left crying, “She broke up with me”?

reader’s question

Hey Doc, Dawn and I were together nearly a year. I’m 32, and she just turned 31. We started talking wedding ceremony about five months in. It was an organic thing,
and the amount of passion was the same on both sides. She told me her previous history consisted of only two relationships that lasted as long as a year and that most of the time she dumped guys shortly after they started to incense her.  She sat her parents down and told them I was “The One” and clarified that I was different from all the guys she’d dated before. Two weeks shy of our first anniversary, Dawn broke up with me. She said she didn’t feel like she could like me the way I need to be loved.  I told her that I’ve never felt neglected by her or that I wasn’t getting from her what I needed. She said that when I give her compliments, she doesn’t feel like that person on the inside. She said she had woken up that week with a amusing feeling that a upset didn’t seem right. She said that she couldn’t get married right now. She said that she permanently does this, that she’s never been in a relationship longer than a year. I said it sounded like dread, that wedding ceremony scares me too at times, but that I’m more worried of a future without her. I questioned her if she still loved me, and she said she did. She said I’m everything she ever wanted in a man but that she can’t be in a relationship right now. I felt blindsided, because five days before she broke up with me, she made a comment in an email about what
kind of engagement ring she wanted. A few weeks before, she emailed me suggestions for wedding venues. Looking back at the final month, I could see small signs that she was beginning to detach, but it seemed undisruptive at the time. Dawn’s very religious, and she made a weird comment a month before the breakup about how she wanted to be in heaven. I was really full back and questioned her, “What about the rest of our lives together? Don’t you mean you want to go to heaven when you die?” And she answered, “Don’t worry. I’m
not suicidal or anything. I’d just rather be there now.”Doc, this seems like commitment phobia to me. I’m agonising over what I could have done differently. Was I too needy? Did I not give her enough space? Did I not pay her enough concentration? All I can come back to is that the pointer I got throughout the time we were together was, “I like you and I want to marry you,” and Dawn never came to me with problems or gave me an opportunity to fix them. We never really argued because we’re both laid-back personalities. Doc, in your opinion, what happened? Bradley - who feels like he’s in hell

doc like’s response

Hi Bradley,Well, your first conundrum is that you started talking wedding ceremony WAY
too soon. You don’t talk wedding ceremony with a woman after only five months. She can talk wedding ceremony after five months, but you shouldn’t. You’re not supposed to be talking wedding ceremony until you’ve got two full years in with a babe. Dude, you
don’t even know this woman. So how can you talk wedding ceremony with her? One other thing: I couldn’t care less about the amount of passion on your side. I only care about the amount of passion on HER side. You’re talking about Dawn, so it’s a agreed that you like her. But how does she really feel about you? Dawn got rid of her other boyfriends because she can only last a year with a guy and she’s just passing through. In other words, she’s a DRIFTER. It was a excellent sign that she built you up to her parents, but still, it was much too soon in the relationship for that to happen. If Dawn broke up your relationship out of the blue, it means that you missed BIG RED FLAGS. You might never have felt neglected before, but Brody, you sure as heck must feel neglected now — because she’s getting rid of you!

What happened here? Guy, you weren’t a challenge at all. You were way too available. You met the parents too soon. You said “I like you” way too much. You talked about wedding ceremony much too soon. Other than that, you did everything right.

Remember, guys: Don’t rationalise red flags.

Save A Marriage

Jun
03

This week, a reader is ready to call it quits with wife. But she recently announced she was pregnant. Is it doable to save a wedding ceremony? Doc Like, has the answer.

reader’s question

Hey Doc, I’ve been in a relationship with Isabelle for seven years and have been married to her for two-and-a-half years. A year and a half ago, we had one of those arguments where at the end of it you don’t know if you want to be with that person anymore. While my gut instinct was to place the relationship, I chose to try to save the wedding ceremony because of everything that we had been through together.

falling out of like

Months passed, and equipment seemed to get better. Meanwhile, I changed jobs (double) and washed-out nearly all of my time working in order to secure my position at the office. This last summer we finally had some financial stability and equipment calmed down a bit, but it became obvious to me that I did not feel the same way about my wife and that equipment weren’t going to change. About the time that I started to consider leaving the relationship, my wife became pregnant. I’ve been doing my best to take care of her and be supportive during this pregnancy, but it’s becoming all too clear that I don’t want to stay in the same household. I say this because I have washed-out two nights with a further woman, and while that relationship isn’t going anywhere (an
ex-boyfriend showed up one day, and I’m no fool), I am not going to avoid future liaisons with other women.  I feel that I should stay in the relationship with my wife until the child is six months to a year ancient to show that I can be a responsible father and that I can take care of the child. I feel this is vital for when there is a divorce and child custody comes into question. I want to be part of my son’s life, to see him daily and take care of his needs, even if it means that during this time I’m not going to be a excellent husband. I infer my question is, am I going about this the right way? What are your view? Do you have any suggestions on how to save a wedding ceremony? Yaz

doc like’s response

Hi Yaz, When you argue with a woman, it does not anything whatsoever but lower
Interest Amount in both people – you and her. And that’s really sad, because rather than sit down and talk equipment out coolly, the volume rises in the voices, then it turns into screaming, and the entire situation deteriorates. Like my cousin General Like says, “Very few people know how to sit down and negotiate.” Only 10% of all families know how to work equipment out properly. The rest of them holler and yell, and when that happens, the man withdraws. Like I said, this is very sad.

Let me question you a question, Yaz. Are you trying to make this relationship work? Are you giving your wife affection and romance? Are you taking her out once a week? Or are you not anything more than a male roommate to this woman? What have you tried to do to save this wedding ceremony?

Now, let me get this straight. You fight with your wife all the time, but she happens to get pregnant in the middle of all this warfare? Wow, you sure found time for lovemaking, didn’t you? Like my cousin Quick Eddie Like from East L.A. says, “I’m surprised you didn’t question her how she got pregnant.”
And at the same time, you found the time to cheat on her with a babe whose ex-boyfriend is around. Fantastic! At least your life isn’t a mess. When you should be working on saving your wedding ceremony with your wife, especially since she’s pregnant, you’re out messing around with some ding-dong.

But I shouldn’t jump to any conclusions, right? Because you have a plot, Yaz. You’re going to get a divorce from Isabelle after six months with your child. Let me question you this: How is it going to make you a responsible father when you split from your baby after six months?

Fella, you have to stop thinking about yourself and start thinking about your kid. You’re being incredibly selfish here.

Here are my suggestions. Start dating your wife and do your best to be nice to her on account of your child. That’s what you have to do. You have to forget your own needs for a change. If your wife weren’t pregnant, equipment would be different. You could walk away from this relationship with Isabelle with a clear conscience. But that’s not the case. Everything in your life now has to be geared to your child instead of to you, and that means no messing around with women who aren’t your lawfully wedded spouse.

Remember, guys: Adultery never saves a wedding ceremony in distress.
