My wife and I had a blowout fight at our marriage conference, and it changed everything. Couples struggling with their relationship might be good hiding it but still need help.
'Maybe I should sleep downstairs for a while when we get home.' I heard the words I was saying, I just couldn’t believe I was saying them. We should have been hanging out by the pool like all the other couples, or talking about how much we loved each other, not doing this … not fighting. My wife Jodi and I had traveled across the country to attend our first marriage retreat led by some of my biggest professional heroes.
I was terrified to do it, but at that moment I said it like it was and asked for help. Why is it so hard to ask for help? I think so often when we’re struggling it can be easier to project a positive image, rather than let someone else know how things are actually going. In turn, as long as we keep those negative things mostly buttoned-up and get really good at practicing quiet resentment, it can pretty much look like you have a healthy relationship. At least from the outside.
