Emotions run high when communications are not a priority. When things go wrong, how do you handle it? Preparing for the worst is part of life and learning to deal with each situation can be very difficult on a relationship.
Marriage-How to prepare yourself for the worst? There are 3 ways to weather a storm.
- Being prepared for a storm means that you accept that their will many, and you are right. Dealing with an unpredictable difficulty is much easier when you have discussed it before hand. Being in a relationship is accepting that their will be times when you will have to overcome. Be prepared.
- Have a plan. The worst that can happen in any situation (unless you have done something illegal) is not as bad as it seems. The reaction to a sudden problem is the real problem. Having a plan of action means that you accept that nothing is perfect and that their is always a solution.
- Practice makes perfect. The great thing about having a partner is that you always have more than one way of looking at things even if they are” problems”. Discussing something as simple as how and what you buy at the groceries store gives you an opportunity to discuss options. Develop a game plan around everyday problems. Discuss, yes I mean discuss possible solutions for anything at all. When you will need it, the practice will have helped you deal with each others type of reaction.
Every problem in a marriage has it’s own distinct advantage.
1. It helps build confidence in your value systems. You learn that sharing has a price.
2. Dealing with emotions takes years. Understanding and sharing feelings and doubts is a marriage maker as far as I am convinced. Putting yourself second and being comfortable with that is putting love ahead of any problem you will get.
Food for thought.
