Stop
Divorce With Honesty-Restore Open Communication
Stop divorce by restoring open communication.
If you want to stop divorce from happening
to you, you need to eliminate lies and defensive
behavior.
How do you stop divorce? You probably already
know that lying is wrong and that telling
the truth is the way to stop divorce and
save your marriage. But do you know that
closing yourself off from your spouse in
other ways – answering questions with
anger or silence, for instance – is
also dishonest and may be equally harmful
to your relationship? Open communication
is essential if you want to stop divorce
from happening to you.
If you want to restore openness in your
marriage and stop divorce, understand that
honesty is more than the absence of lies.
Remember: when it comes to stopping divorce,
the best defense is NOT a good offense –
it’s no defense at all.
If you’re lying to your spouse on
a regular basis, is it to cover up behavior
you know is wrong? Is “stuck in traffic”
your euphemism for “stopped at the
bar?” One way to stop divorce is by
telling the truth.
If you’re lying out of embarrassment
– you say you lost ten pounds when
you only lost four – examine why you’re
ashamed of your accomplishment. Is a childhood
issue still haunting you? Is your spouse
critical? Both? Find out if you want to
stop divorce in its tracks. Don’t
just end the lying; end the need for the
deception.
If you’re lying out of fear –
you say the electricity bill was $90 when
it was really $190 because you’re
afraid telling the truth could get you hurt
– then take a hard look at your relationship
and why you feel unsafe.
