Millions of couples are trapped in broken relationships. Many don’t even realize their dilemma; they’ve become so accustomed to living in this loveless rut that they’ve literally revamped their lives to work around the situation and isolate themselves from the reality. If you and your spouse are one of these couples, take heart. Turning your relationship around is not only possible, but that you can take control of the situation and make it happen. Most marriage counseling programs take the approach of drilling down to key problems that are affecting a relationship. The theory is that if two people can reach common ground and see issues from each other’s perspective, the problems will then be addressed and the relationship will once again be healthy. Unfortunately, it seldom works that way in real life. Real couples might put the effort into sitting through counseling and talking through their grievances, but the end result is frequently more fighting. Feelings get hurt and tempers fray. In most cases, simply identifying problems or issues and trying to resolve them is ineffective at saving your marriage. The alternative solution to the classic marriage counseling techniques is an approach known as Marriage Fitness. Instead of trading accusations and arguing over who is to blame, Marriage Fitness stresses positive relationship habits. Rather than rehashing past events, couples work together to strengthen their current relationship; the goal isn’t to dial back time, but to build a new relationship that’s better than the one they had before. With a strengthened relationship, those problems tend to fade into the background and don’t necessarily have to be directly confronted and resolved. Traditional marriage counseling relies on the infamous retreat as an integral part of treatment. A weekend away from everything, confronting the past with your spouse. Besides often being a painful experience, a retreat can be expensive, inconvenient and requires both spouses to be present. There is no such ordeal in Marriage Fitness, but there are intensive programs available that allow for interaction with a counselor from your own home. If you’re trying to save your marriage on your own, there’s even the option for a single spouse program. The flexibility cannot be matched by the usual marriage counseling programs.
