 HOW DO YOU GET OVER YOUR PAST (AND PAST YOUR MARRIAGE PROBLEMS)
Are you hurting? Has your spouse neglected you? Rejected you? Emotionally abused you? Are you struggling to get over the pain of an affair? Hi. I’m Mort Fertel, author of Marriage Fitness. If you’re having marital trouble, the chances are good that you need to put some hurt behind you. It’s one of the most common questions I get. “Mort, I want to make my marriage work. But how do I get over the past?” Here’s the key. The first step is to realize what you’re REALLY trying to accomplish. What does it REALLY mean to get over the past? You can’t change what happened. There’s no time machine that can send you back to relive the past. What’s done is done. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that your situation is hopeless. What I’m saying is that you first have to be clear about what you can and cannot change. You CAN get over your past (as I’ll explain). But you canNOT change events that already occurred. The good news though is that you don’t have to change the past in order to get over it. What you have to change is the MEANING of the past. Think for a moment. Was there ever a time in your life when something horrible happened and you thought, “Why is this happening to me?” Add Comment | Survival Guide
