The Broken Road Mini-Series
This Mini-Series was designed especially for spouses in second marriages who:
Are grateful for the gift of companionship
Are willing to invest deeply for a good return
Want to grow with their partner
Are committed to serving Jesus through serving others
Understand the value of having and being a good partner
Have big dreams for what God can do in their marriage
Want to get it right this time
Desire to minimize the baggage from prior relationships
I 'm Elizabeth Reames, avid music lover, Life Coach, and Author. Today 's installment is the first of four parts in the mini-series I call The Broken Road.
In this session, we 're addressing two related topics; one, identifying emotional triggers that cause us extreme pain and discomfort in our second marriage, and two, minimizing the effect of one source of that pain, baggage from prior relationships. We 'll be learning which bags we need to put down, and which ones we need to carry with us, as useful tools for our journey. …show more content…
Scripture says that the truth brings freedom, and you and your spouse will succeed in moving toward healthy patterns of communication in your relationship. Will both of you respond perfectly the first time and every time? No. But, stay in the game! Because of His great love for us, God wants to forgive us for our role in the wreckage that was our life, redeem all that was dead and lost, and to rewrite our relationship story.
If you want to dig deeper in understanding the effect of emotional triggers in relationships, may I suggest The DNA of Relationships by the late Gary Smalley as possibly the best work I have seen on the topic. Here is a free internet resource from the Smalley website to help you, as well: http://smalley.cc/images/Core-Fears-Example.pdf
Next time we 'll talk about the value of having and being a good partner, and maximizing the positive in your relationship with your spouse. Until
