Emotional emptiness and pain in their marriages drives many busy executives to ask the question, “What can I do to improve my marriage?” My response is, “Change yourself first!”
President Harry Truman had a plaque on his desk that read, “The Buck Stops Here.” Whether running the government, a business or a marriage, you can simply look in the mirror and realize “The buck stops here.”
In working with over a 1,000 couples for more than 40 years, I’ve never seen a marriage hit the rocks because of just one person.
Marriage is a duet, not a solo. You’ve had a role in creating the current state of your marriage. The place to begin improving your marriage is to look at yourself. Gandi said, “You must be the change you wish to see.”
People will not change until the pain of their current situation is greater than the hard work and commitment it takes to change and go in a different direction.
Are you ready to stop the drift in your marriage? Are you ready to turn your marriage around and head in the direction of emotional connection and being best friends?
