Marriage without pain
May 2, 2008 4:27 pm UncategorizedSometimes, in our efforts to avoid pain, we ignore the real problems in the relationship because we’re scared of opening a door that can’t be closed. We avoid confrontation to prevent ourselves from being hurt, or hurting the ones we love.
However, these problems won’t go away on their own. And the longer you wait to deal with them, the greater the risk of damaging the relationship when it finally comes up.
In my experience, most marital problems aren’t things that came along later on. They were problems that existed from the first month of dating, but were never truly confronted.
