Hi ,

If you have a good marriage, this email is for you.

For the past several days I've been writing about the How to Love When You Feel Like Leaving course.

While the title is certainly written in a way to speak to those who feel like they're on the marital ropes, the content that will benefit any marriage in any stage.

In fact, one of the couples who signed up already has a good marriage. They signed up to make it stronger.

I've been in the marriage space for 21 years, and I know that couples who have a pretty good marriage don't typically attend marriage events or classes.

Why not?

First, it suggests to one or both spouses that something is wrong. Secondly, it gives others the impression that there's trouble in paradise.

We tend to view getting marriage support like we do other things in life: if ain't broke, don't fix it.

For example, the majority of us don't get gas until our fuel light is on, and the needle is close to or on E.

There's a great debate if filling up at half a tank instead of on empty actually saves money.

However, one thing that cannot be debated is that filling up at half a tank eliminates the anxiety you feel when you have one mile left, and the nearest gas station is three miles away.

We tend to see getting marriage help like getting gas.

We're content to let resolvable problems stay and grow until there's a blow up, no communication, no sex, no cooperation, no emotional intimacy, and perhaps no way back.

But, this doesn't have to be.

I encourage you to take an inventory of your marriage with these questions:

• What's going well?

• What's not going well?

• Where are you stuck?

• What could be better?

• What would be possible if your marriage were better?

• What would be possible if you you weren't stuck?

• What would that make possible?

The How to Love When You Feel Like Leaving course is for ALL marriage, because EVERY spouse has issues they're dealing with.

Getting support when things are going pretty well is wise, and totally trumps waiting until your marriage is too far gone.

If you have a good marriage, I encourage you to sign up for this course and make your marriage better.

Don't wait until things get bad.

Leave the anxiety for finding a gas station, not wondering if your marriage is going to make it.
