Marital Baggage
Many couples bring a lot of excess baggage from the past into their marriage. The typical forms of baggage are hurt, anger, a lack of understanding of what true love is, a wrong attitude toward sex, and a low self-image. Because of excess baggage, many marriages are doomed from the start. They are actually time bombs ready to go off! Mark it down, excess baggage will weigh your marriage down in some way, shape, or form.
Many times, when couples start to feel the effects of the baggage that is weighing down their marriage, they feel that the answer is to throw the marriage away, however, the real answer is to throw the baggage out. As a matter of fact, one of the problems with not dealing with the baggage is that people tend to just take their excess baggage on to the next relationship. Because of this reason, there are people on their 4th and 5th marriage that still think they have not found the right person! If they would have initially dealt with the excess baggage in their life, they may still be on their first marriage.
You can start to deal with this baggage through Christian-based marriage counseling and / or coaching, good, Christian-based books (like Angry Without a Cause / Click Here to Order), marriage resources (like our Audio Cd Series, How to Break the Cycle of Resentment and Anger / Click Here to Order), prayer, and church attendance.
Remember, be very careful to work on yourself first. Certainly, your spouse needs to change, however, up to this point, your spouses vision of seeing his/her own faults has probably been blurred by your own errors and mistakes! It is so important to take your own faults out of the picture so he/she can see theirs.
