The Zig Ziglar Marriage Experiment

zig ziglar The Zig Ziglar Marriage Experiment
I heard on the news that yesterday Zig Ziglar passed away. For those who don’t know who he was, Zig was an amazing motivational speaker and writer. While he’s most often thought of as being a motivator of salespeople, during this story they played a snippet of one of his talks that seemed very appropriate for my readers.

Zig said that years ago he was giving a seminar in Birmingham and was approached by one of the participants for advice. This woman said that she was in a dead-end job full of people who constantly made her workplace miserable. She wanted Mr. Ziglar’s help on finding a better job or career.

Zig told her to take out a piece of paper and start writing down, line by line, all the things she liked about her current job. She say there wasn’t a single thing. Zig said, “you mean to tell me that there isn’t one single thing you like about your job?” She said again that there wasn’t one thing. Read the rest of this entry

Trying to stop divorce process can be tricky, but it will be exponentially easier if you are the person who filed the petition for divorce in the first place. But even so, the process to stop the divorce may change from the kind of divorce that was filed. The easiest kind of stop-divorce process will be if the divorce that was filed was a no-fault kind of divorce. A no-fault divorce means that the one that was served the petition has no legal right to stop the divorce, only the party that filed the petition. If this is the kind of divorce that you filed, then all you have to do is to write a letter stating your wishes to stop the divorce, have it signed by your attorney and your spouse as witnesses, and have it notarized. Present this to the judge presiding over your case immediately, in order for the divorce process to stop. Read the rest of this entry

Save Christian Marriage by Being a Godly Spouse

Leave your comment

If you got married in a Church, the chances are you vowed to love one another “till death do us part”. At the time it was probably said with the intention of fulfilling that vow, but life has a way of changing things which can cause us to grow apart. The question is how do we save Christian marriage?

Living with another person challenges us in many different ways. We have to learn to tolerate their ways and come to terms with the fact that they may not be as perfect as we would like.

However, there was a reason you married in the first place, and hopefully that was because you loved them for what they were. Your Christian belief probably brought you together, so believe that it will also help you to solve your marital problems. Read the rest of this entry

Marriage Counseling Can Help Save Marriage

Leave your comment

Difficulties in a marriage often start out as something quite insignificant. Eventually these difficulties blow up out of proportion and the stress and loneliness may lead you to seek marriage counseling.

Marriage counseling is designed to help a couple resolve their differences. In order to make strides forward it’s necessary for both participants to make the effort required to understand each other’s problems.

A Counselor will adopt different roles during a counseling session. They may just be an observer, or act as a facilitator or mediator. The main object of any counseling is to enable the couple to sort out their issues themselves. Read the rest of this entry

6 Habits Lethal To Any Marriage

Leave your comment

In any marriage there comes a time when, for whatever reason, things become strained and arguments develop. In some ways it’s healthy to have disagreements, but when they start to take over the happy marriage you once new then it’s time to do something about it.

Below are six things that can cause a marriage to disintegrate:

  • Spending too much time away from home and each other, either working or mixing with friends, doesn’t help a relationship. It’s inevitable that a spouse will feel neglected and start to wonder what the attraction is that keeps you away from home.
  • Sex is important in any marriage as the intimacy between two people binds you closer together. If the sex becomes less and less then the chances are your feelings for each other will diminish and you will feel isolated.
  • Financial problems are often a major cause of disharmony in a marriage. However, if you don’t try to work the issues out together your marriage will not survive. The first thing to do is assess the situation and see where the problem lies. Help each other to overcome the problem and face up to whatever needs to be done.
  • Don’t let yourself go. A scruffy appearance and unclean habits can be a big turn off. It really doesn’t take that much effort to keep yourself looking good and it’s as much for yourself as your partner. By making the effort every day to look your best you will feel more confident and happier inside. A disciplined daily routine can be achieved no matter what your situation and will keep your interest in each other alive.
  • Being affectionate does not always come easily to some people, but if you want to retain that initial feeling you had for each other it’s important to show affection. Everyone likes to feel loved, and it’s not enough to say ‘well you know I love you’. As the song from ‘My Fair Lady’ says…..”show me!”.
  • Arguments are inevitable in any marriage, but to carry the grudge around with you, and perhaps sulk for days on end, is very destructive. It builds up even more aggression and makes it impossible to let go. It really isn’t that difficult to say ‘sorry’ and that one little word can make all the difference in the world.

A happy marriage is built on compromise, talking, listening, being prepared to not always be right, and sharing problems together. No problem is insurmountable if you face it together and work to ease the burden of it as one.

Marriage is not an easy institution, but then nothing that’s worthwhile ever is. You cannot expect to be happy ever after if you’re not prepared to put everything you have into the union and face up to whatever comes your way. It’s easy to lose sight of your hopes and dreams when life becomes difficult, but together you can overcome most things if you really want to.

The Best Ways to Find Marriage Advice When You Are Feeling Stuck

Leave your comment

If you are having issues and arguments with your spouse you will want to find some good marriage advice. There are a number of sources for advice on marriage and keeping things going well. If you are close to your family and you have watched your parents or siblings enjoy a great marriage you can turn to them when you need advice. Most people do not seek advice until there is a problem to be addressed and you should be looking for advice on marriage before you even get married.

Many people think that they need to get married to be worthwhile in the public’s eyes without realizing that the real reason to get married is to spend the rest of your life with a person that you are truly in love with. In just about any other situation in life you can research online and make truly informed decisions, but with marriage you do not have any tried and true sources to go to. There are any number of so called marriage experts that you can go to for advice, but most of them address conflict and do not give you practical advice on getting started from day one in your marriage to build the best base for a life long partnership.

Truly understanding what you partner desires in life and how they communicate is a good way to start working on your marriage. Communicating without conflict and condescension is extremely important. Too many men feel that they know it all and do not look on marriage as a two way street and a cooperation of equal partners. Whether the man is the sole income provider or not makes no difference in the importance of each spouse’s role. There have been studies that show if you had to pay for the services provided for a stay at home mom she would need to pull down six figures just to pay for what she has to do every single day. This is a true case of outsourcing not being the way to go to reduce expenses. One only has to look at what it costs for daycare to see that it is important to make the stay at home spouse feel that they are appreciated.

The day to day stresses of finances, work problems and dealing with issues with the children can strain the marriage relationship to the breaking point especially if both spouses do not take the time to communicate everything that is going on and address the issues as they come up. The person bringing in the income may not realize that helping with the house hold chores is extremely important and that giving the stay at home spouse time away from the kids is key to keeping everyone sane.

If you are looking for good marriage advice you should start with a counselor recommended by someone you respect at your church. Another great place for advice is a person your respect who already has a good marriage and the time to speak with you about what is happening.

Finally, you can find great advice in marriage books. I highly recommend Save the Marriage. It’s helped hundreds of couples restore their marriages from the brink of disaster.
