MONEY is one of the most common sources of conflict in a relationship. Nothing is more painful than trying to fix a broken marriage alone. It can leave you with overwhelming feelings of helplessness and regret. If you find yourself in this situation, remember that with each brand new day comes, so does hope for your marriage. When your feel too overwhelmed and you want to call it quits, consider these 5 ways to get you through.
WAY #1. Take A Break And Breathe
The stress you are dealing with can cause not only emotional harm but as well as physical harm when overly dealt with. Give yourself a break from all the negativity; take some time to meditate and breathe in peace. Go for a day to pamper yourself, manicure or pedicure day; or just get a simple massage. A little break from the noise can help you hear yourself better.
WAY #2. Look For Something Positive In Your Spouse
When you are emotionally upset with your spouse, it can be difficult to find something positive in him or her because all the beautiful things are now masked by the pain – choose to look for something positive in your spouse anyway! Is your spouse good at providing your family’s needs? Is your spouse a responsible father? Anyways, there is something that he or she did right, that’s the reason why you loved him/her at the first place. Hold on to that thought and focus on it. It is during trying times like this when you will need more positivity in your marriage.
WAY #3. Choose To Do Something That You Can Control
Now is not the time to wallow in self-pity and cry your eyes out (though there will be times when crying gives you relief), instead use this time to channel your energy into something productive. This can be easier said than done but it will be worth the try. Cook that dish, finish that song, repaint that drawer – do the things that you have been putting on hold.
Pray for your marriage.
There is power in prayer. Getting your situation fixed may seem impossible to you but it isn’t to God. Prayer and meditation can help you see the whole situation through a new viewpoint and it can give you greater strength that you can ever get from your support system and your spouse.
WAY #4. Choose The Right People Who Can Support You
God answers prayers through people. Pray to God to send you the right people to help you. The type of support system you turn to during these moments is very crucial. Make sure you choose people who value marriage and will encourage you to fight for yours. The people you choose to surround yourself with can greatly influence how you deal with your marriage at this pivotal time.
THINK. REFLECT. APPLY.
