Worst Case Scenario: Perspective Check

Written by Mike Woodard

Wednesday May 16, 2012

Sometimes picturing the worst case scenario helps to set the right perspective. If breaking up is the worst case scenario in your relationship, picture a staircase with breaking up at the bottom. If the top of the staircase is a great relationship, where are you on the staircase? Which way are you moving? What will take you up, toward a great relationship, and what will move you down toward a breakup?

Action Step:  Discuss together your relationship direction; take inventory of your relationship. Be intentional about a plan to re-direct (or stay on track) on the goal of a great relationship.  Plan some time together this week to the discuss priorities each of you have that will move you in the right direction.

    So in your scenario going to a therapist is like hiring a handyman??? Both scenarios would never work as those are both things men hate to do :)

    Your right men may be more private/embarrassed to ask for help. Is there any way you can talk to him that paints the picture in a way that might motivate you guys to get some help. I like the handyman idea. Go with that as a way to talk about getting some help.
