Is he married to you or…?

If you are married to an entrepreneur, pastor, engineer soldier, police officer, firefighter, business leader, or are a start-up wife, you have a special set of UNIQUE challenges the average folks don’t deal with. 

You probably already know that.

Maybe you have reached the end of your rope and are fed up with the lack of connection, conflicts, loneliness, and daily challenges that make things feel hopeless.

What you may NOT know is there IS a way to navigate these special marriage situations.

Borrow my hope?

Things CAN be different for you. And your family.

You’ve probably already tried some things that maybe worked for a few weeks and then slid back into what you are dealing with now.

It’s exhausting, isn’t it? ANYONE would feel discouraged.

AND… one of the reasons you’ve hung in THIS long is you BELIEVE GOD, and just aren’t a person who quits. You KNOW there must be a way, His way, and you’ll hang in there to find it.

Want a little help?

Know there are very specific INPUTS which must be placed consistently into your marriage, or it will continue to stall like this. The good news is, those are FUN and can become habits. 

If you tried counseling, know that focusing on the conflicts each week instead of following a science-backed Biblical PLAN often fails most of the time and can even make things WORSE. 

Can I encourage you? I’ve seen things turn around in a couple of short months with determined women.

I’ve watched God do miracles in not just MY marriage, but many others with similar challenges. KNOW that if you are complaining about the time spent on his business you are making things WORSE. There is a BETTER way to create connection and solve problems. 

If you complain, you create a negative environment that puts pressure on your spouse to have to CHOOSE between you and the business – NOT HELPFUL – especially if this is how the bills get paid.

Know you are increasing time away from you and the kids if this is the approach you are using.

STOP doing what’s proven to NOT work.

Learn what does.

Reach out with “plan” if you want something different for your family. Just reply if you got this in email, or send one to coachnina(at)greaterimpact.org
