More time together with your partner is NOT the cure (could make things worse)

I had the radio on while I was exercising.

It was Sunday morning and there's a program I always listen to.

I don't like the program.

The reason I listen is because it's a popular program about mariage and family.

Trying to keep up with what people are saying.

There are 2 reasons I don't like this program.

One is that they always slam on men.

They constantly portray men as inept at relationships or fools.

Men are not inept at relationships or fools.

Men are different from women in how they approach relationships.

We've been bamboozled by the Oprahfication of relationships, that it needs to be the "woman's" way.

The other reason I don't like this program is that they offer the usual "canned" answers to marriage "problems."

The one this guy was harping on is that you need to spend more time together.

Now I ask you, if the way you think, feel and view one another is negative, is more time together a good thing?

No.

More time together will confirm all those preconceived notions.

It's like saying the cure to a drinking problem is more drinking.

Lots and lots of drinking.

That's not the way it's done.

To be different with one another you have to be fundamentally different inside.

There's only one way to do all of this differently, and that's through the Science of Happy Marriage.

Once you master this, THEN the more time you spend together, the better.

Here's where you start to do things the right way in your marriage
