My mentor told me something that I’ll never forget, especially because it has always proven to be true. She said, “If you are interested in finding the best solution to a problem that involves relationships, talk with someone who is happily married and follow their advice.”
Recently I did a review of the best selling relationship book, “The Magic Of Making Up.” When I read about the author I learned he is a long term happily married man and his track record for helping save relationships is very strong.
Relationships are about more than falling in love. Relationships that connect two people who are committed to each others happiness and well being, are on solid footing, however it takes more. From time to time you’ll also need some cheerful down to earth practical advice. It’s this good counsel that helps keep the love and motivation fueled and ready for the journey.
It is not unusual these days to talk to couples that want to save their relationship. For some its because the are trying to save a long distance relationship. And for others, the issue is they have come to a fork in the road and their marriage has hit a very rough spot.
Sometimes it just takes a few simple things to jar your routine and then trouble enters your relationship. Other times, the relationship has been so painful for so long, it seems like there is no possibility for a positive outcome, at least not one that will keep the two of you together.
In the case of relationship woes, I sometimes make a referral to a book. And there are not many that make a good match with some of the concerns that come across my desk. However, today I am led to mention, “The Magic Of Making Up.”
I don’t have a sales pitch, or anything flowery to say about The Magic Of Making Up. What I can say is those who have read the book, or watched the video the author has created, are not the same once they have looked deeper into its chapters. I’ll leave you with a link to the preview… just click here:
And know that when trouble knocks at your door, it is a learning opportunity, and a test. Your experiences of life rise and fall, much like the tides that affect a mighty ocean. This is the ebb and flow of life, and their is meaning at every change and every challenge.
Embrace the experience and allow it to be with you long enough to learn its meaning. But don’t be too proud to reach out to someone who you can speak with to get answers.
Be well,
Mama E
