Today is Day #44 of our Nar Anon Group Just For Today Challenge. I am also integrating the Live Happy into my Challenge. The Live Happy Challenge for today is about relationship matters.
This section of the Live Happy pertains to Building Happy Relationships. The families going through heroin and addiction with their loved ones we know many whose marriages bear the battle scars and the wounds of loving an addict.
The book says,
When you feel so emotional that you can't think straight, it may be time to seek help.
Explain to your partner that you believe the two of you could work through the tough issues if only you could talk about them without pushing each other's buttons.
One way to not do that would be to find an impartial third party, perhaps a relationship expert or a marriage and family counselor, to guide you through the emotional minefields.
Relationship experts can reveal ways to shift the relationship paradigm so you don't stay in a "stuck" place.
Working through the issues can strengthen a relationship and make the individuals feel more hopeful, optimistic, and happier.
Just For Today: I am thankful that my marriage has remained strong.
