    Fix Your Marriage


    There are lots of great ebooks on the Internet that can provide excellent relationship break up advice. But when you think your marriage is in real trouble – when you’re asking yourself every day, “Is my relationship over?” – then you have to take a more serious approach. You need something more personal, professional and effective.

    You might think the obvious answer for quality relationship break up advice is professional counseling. But maybe you and your spouse aren’t ready for that major step (and expense).

    You should consider trying the “Marriage Fitness” programs from Mort Fertel, “a world authority on the psychology of relationships” with “an international reputation for saving marriages.”

    That’s a big claim. But based on everything I’ve seen, I believe it to be true. Mort Fertel is the real deal, and his break up advice is the best you can find online.

    How Do You Know If Your Marriage Will Survive?

    Do you know whether or not your marriage will make it? I can tell you with near certainty.

    Hi. I’m Mort Fertel, author of Marriage Fitness.

    If you had to pick ONE THING that best predicts whether or not your marriage will succeed, what would you pick?

    You might say “conflict.” If you fight a lot, then that’s not a good sign, right? WRONG.

    Would you believe that it’s the opposite?! That’s right; research shows that the number one predictor of divorce is the habitual AVOIDANCE of conflict. In other words, a couple who does NOT fight is at the greatest risk for divorce.

    A couple came to me for private phone sessions and I asked them what was going on in their relationship.

    “We never talk,” Kathy said.

    “Why not,” I asked.

    “Because we realized that that’s when we fight,” she responded.

    Isn’t it ironic? We try to avoid conflict with our spouse for the benefit of our relationship. But there’s nothing MORE damaging to your marriage than NOT fighting.

    Hate is not the opposite of love; apathy is! Hate is close to love. To hate someone, you have to CARE about them.

    Did you ever feel hate for your mailman? How about the clerk at the supermarket? You never hated them because you don’t care about them. That’s the opposite of love.

    But the closer you are to someone the more likely it is that you step on each other’s toes. Hate is actually a sign of hope. It means you care. It means you’re close. Apathy, on the other hand, is cause for great concern.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m not advising you to go pick a fight with your spouse. You can’t fight so that you’ll have a good marriage. I didn’t say fighting is healthy. I said people in healthy marriages fight. In other words, the fact that you fight is a sign that deep down you really love each other, that your relationship has potential. But if you want to be happily married, you have to learn to fight WELL.

    Successful couples know how to discuss their differences. This is not something that comes naturally to anyone; it’s a learned skill. And once you learn it, all the energy that goes into your fights propels your relationship forward.

    EVERY successful couple has areas of disagreement. No two people are perfectly compatible. “Irreconcilable differences” are like a bad knee or a chronic back—they’re part of every good marriage.

    The key to succeeding in marriage is not finding the right person; it’s learning to fight well with the person you found. You’ll have “irreconcilable differences” with anyone you pick. The question is whether or not you can learn to discuss them.
