Save a Marriage Forever Formula
11 Steps to a Self-Healing Marriage or Relationship
- The Formula is a powerful tool. 11 Steps encapsulate the healing/change process taken from different “tools” I’ve used as a therapist and my work with thousands since 1981.
- The Formula is not a one shot and done tool. Use the Formula whenever you experience an upsetting situation. Print out a number of sheets and follow the Formula 1-3 times a day.
- Some of the steps are counter-intuitive. For example, canceling a proactive goal (get him to love me) seems rather strange, as does the fact that another person’s behavior results in self punishment. Bear with the formula.
- The Formula works most powerfully in conjunction with deprogramming your mind and heart from what you’ve been taught about relationships. This is a process. Be patient with the confusion (confusion stands next to discovery!)
