YOU CAN SURVIVE A MARITAL CRISISYour world may have just turned upside down with the unexpected. Or maybe you saw it coming because it's been building for a long time. It might truly BE bad in your marriage. But you can only do what you can do, then whatever is left is no longer in your hands. On page 17 of the book, I explain, "And remember, the bigger the crisis, the bigger your strengths have to be. Did you know that there is an annual marathon at Mount Everest? The start of the race is at 17,000 feet! Even well-conditioned athletes begin to stagger at 14,000 feet because of the thin air - and that is just from walking!
Marriage can and often is a tough thing. It's for life. Don't be fooled into thinking you can make it to the finish line without lots of serious preparation. You will find yourself 'dropping out' of the race well before it's over. No one wants to start something they can't finish. With adequate preparation, however, others have shown us we are capable of some incredible things.
Simply put, it's the size of your heart that counts. You have to believe that defining moments come your way every day and that rising to the occasion each and every time does make a difference."
Don't ever think you can't work through any situation that comes your way. History is full of people who endured tough marriages, only to find their partner finally came to his or her senses one day. Don't underestimate the power of your example. Choose to lead the way quietly with your behavior. If your partner doesn't change, your conscious will be clear and there is great comfort in that. If your partner does change, the prize you have won is unbeatable. If this interests you, let me encourage you to jump in with both feet and pursue the survival of your marriage with everything you have. It starts with you.
