Exploring Reconciliation

Description

Maybe you’re considering reconciling a marriage that’s in major trouble. Or maybe, just maybe, you’ve already started what you think is the reconciliation process.

We understand that difficulties occurred in your marriage. Congratulations on exploring the possibility of renewing your relationship! Coming back together takes work. It takes time. It takes healing. It takes intention from both husband and wife. We would like to help you forgive the past, trust again, and have a stronger marriage than ever before.

There’s actually a system to use for reconciliation that most people don’t understand. And we want to share that system with you.

• Introduction
• Easing Into Reconciliation
• Explore Part 1 – Tough Conversations
• Explore Part 2 – Understanding Your Spouse
• Explain Part 1 – Negotiation
• Explain Part 2 – Compromise
• Engage – Making A Decision
• Excel – True Vision

Exploring Reconciliation is a system and we want you to follow the system as it is designed for the best chance of success.

If anything works, this will.

We’re not guaranteeing that it’s a magic potion. That if you do exactly what we tell you to do, everything’s going to be easy. However, we guarantee that this is best shot you can give your relationship for true reconciliation.

An incredible testimony from one of our Marriage Helper Community Members, RB:

“Today, we are reconciled for roughly 2.5 years. As I’ve heard Dr. Beam say more than once, reconciliation was like getting into the shallow end of a pool and working your way to the deep end. We did that. Each of us slowly tested the waters as reconciliation progressed. Today, we ‘tread water’ in the deep end on a regular basis. Bear in mind, this was a woman who said ‘I’m done’ repeatedly. She said, ‘I don’t want to give you false hope’ anytime we had nice conversations. She also could never ever see herself having feelings for me ever again.

If I had to go through it all over again to have the marriage I have today, I’d do it, in a heartbeat. I would do every sleepless night where I tried crying myself to sleep. Why? Because what I have today is something I never ever thought was even possible. I often say I have the marriage that I never knew I ever wanted. First and foremost, she’s my best friend. We share things with each other now that we’d never dreamed of sharing together before. We both know what the horsemen look like and how to avoid them. We both know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and how to leverage those for the better of our marriage.

Why do I share? Because I want YOU to know that there IS hope, always! Change IS possible. When you think your spouse doesn’t notice the change, believe me, they DO. When you blow it, they notice. When you own that you blew it, they notice. Consistency and time are key. PIES and SMART contact are things we should have learned in school, but it’s better late than never. It IS possible for beauty to arise from the ashes of a broken marriage and for a diamond to come out of it.”

• Is this course right for me?
  • This course is right for you if: you and your spouse are considering reconciling, you may be in a situation where your spouse is back, you’re talking more, you’re getting on better and they are interested in looking into working on the marriage. You don’t need to be ready to make a commitment to reconciliation yet – this will help you walk through this decision and the things to consider to do that.  Even if you or your spouse are hesitant, you’re saying “I don’t know if things can actually change”, or “I’ve been hurt before and I don’t know I can do this.” This course is also for you if you both are committed to reconcile but don’t know the best steps to take to walk through it. This course is not right for you if:  your spouse isn’t yet on board and willing to at least consider the possibility of reconciling the marriage, whether they are still checked out of the marriage, not interested in talking to you etc. If this is your current situation, the best thing you can do right now is look at our Save My Marriage Course – a course designed for the spouse who wants to save their marriage.
