Problem Solving In Marriage

Recently, I saw a YouTube Short where Salma Hayek was talking with Chelsea Handler about her marriage.

She said that it was the most important accomplishment in her life along with having a healthy family.

Chelsea asked her what the secret was to a successful marriage and Salma paused before she answered.

But her answer was remarkable.

She said whenever a challenge arises, they focus on finding the solution. They don't focus on who is to blame.

It's them versus the problem.

Folks, that is such a powerful practice.

It is easy to look at your spouse, blame them for their mistake or bad choice, make them feel bad and fight them.

I have certainly been guilty of this.

However, if your goal is to spend the rest of your life with this person and have a happy and healthy marriage, you won't make it very long before bitterness and resentment creeps in.

You and your spouse are a team. It's you two versus the challenges that lie ahead.

Keep this in mind if you want longevity and love in your marriage.

Until next time...
