As the top
five reasons were revealed on the screen, I couldn’t help but nod my head in
agreement. Unfortunately, I wasn’t thinking of my own weaknesses, per se,
rather I was agreeing with the cyclone towards destruction!
Thanks for
joining me for Coffee Hour with Chicklit Power and Tuesday’s Trench Truth with
Trench Classes United. Isn’t it so much easier to point out the weaknesses of
others and not own our own?
Our pastor
was talking about having a gritty marriage -- grit is passion to persevere. He
began with a powerful truth that often we just want things to work but we don’t
want to do the work!
Then he
listed the top five reasons why they fail and again I nodded in agreement:
1.
Poor communication
2.
Finances
3.
Abuse
4.
No longer “attracted”
5.
Infidelity
Now if you
look at the first one, suddenly number 2 becomes more important than it should
– meaning when we are not communicating well, we focus on other things, the
first of which is finances. Then that can get us acting like we are on the
complete opposite team and often that leads to number 3 which takes on many
forms – abusive language, insults, shutting down, isolating, abandoning to name
a few. When it gets to the fourth stage, the fifth is the most common and
logical: we begin looking for the escape route because we want out.
In other
words, one leads to the next and so the crazy dance, unhealthy love cycle
begins.
It’s time to
learn a new dance! It’s not too late to join us for our How to Love Trench
Class! Contact us today!
Truthfully,
Evinda
