If you are the spouse who has been hurt - or the spouse who did the hurting - there are key principles for building trust again in your relationship.The hurt spouse often feels anger, pain, fear, doubt, anxiety, and helplessness.The spouse who did the hurt often feels remorse, guilt, fear, desire, and helplessness.Sometimes the spouse who did the hurt wants the other spouse to forgive and forget rapidly...let's just get beyond this as fast as we can.Often the hurt spouse needs to talk about the pain, the fear of what might happen again, and to be reassured in many ways.Are there ways to rebuild the trust? Yes. Does it require work? Yes. Will there be questions that must be answered? Absolutely. Are there some questions which should not be answered? Absolutely.In this program we'll guide you through a process to know what do do, which questions to ask and answer, which ones to avoid, and how to overcome the fear that the hurt will happen again.You may call in your questions or comments during the program (646-378-0424) or email in advance to AskJoe@MarriageHelper.com

How can you stop your spouse from behaviors destructive to him- herself, to you, to your family, or to your relationship?You set boundaries. How do you get your spouse to do the things necessary to keep your relationship alive when it seems it may not last?You set criteria.Boundaries and criteria are different. They have similarities, but the difference between them is crucial to understand. Even if a person sets and enforces solid boundaries, s/he may well be missing the effective restoration to a good relationship that can come with solid criteria.Our experience is that most people either don't set boundaries, set boundaries that are too broad, or any number of other things that make the boundaries either impossible to keep, or that are ignored by their spouses.We also witness people setting no criteria, poor criteria, and other mistakes that don't motivate their spouses to meet the criteria at all.How do you set boundaries? In this program Joe Beam discusses that in detail. How to make them, what to avoid, when to enforce them, and why they work.What about criteria? In this program, Joe explains the difference between boundaries and criteria, when to establish criteria, how to make ones that help, and how to use them to make your relationship better.Criteria and boundaries are not wishes and wants: They establish absolute do's and absolute don't's.

We hear the stories all to often."We went to a counselor about our marriage and it was the biggest mistake every.

My husband said, 'See, there's no help for us' and went to the other woman. Are there any counselors out there who actually help people in our situation?""Turns out our counselor had the philosophy that each of us should be happy and if that wasn't together, we should follow our own individual paths to happiness.
