Morgan and I like to go out at least once a week and get Mediterranean food. And tonight we were first responders to a car wreck that happened right in front of us on a highway.
An Impala slammed into the back of a large pick up truck and spun the truck around 180 degrees. The car only hit the breaks less than a second before impact.
Thankfully everyone was okay, airbags deployed. Morgan called 911 while I checked on the people in the accident. This wasn’t the first time we were first responders to a car wreck.
Our first experience being first responders didn’t have a happy ending for the driver and left both of us feeling pretty shook up.
It really reminds you of how short life is, you know?
Here’s regrettable fact: You and your spouse can both do everything right in healing from an affair, but if you leave this one thing out, you’ll still be struggling with it years later, and feel no better than you did months after finding out.
This summer I worked with a couple who had been in therapy 3x a week for 4 years. To me that’s incredible commitment and dedication.
The counseling schedule they were on was 1 marriage counseling session per week, with both of them doing individual counseling. I don’t think I’d ever seen something like that before.
And to be honest with you, it’s extremely depressing to put in that much effort and not reach your goal.
I was their final hope. As the injured partner, the wife told me when we first met that I was her last hope. If I couldn’t help them she’d be filing for divorce in about 30 days.
I knew instantly within the first 5 or so minutes what was missing from the equation.
They followed my recommendations and a month later she reported feeling amazed that she finally felt free after 4 years of spinning her wheels in traditional counseling.
She was truly happy, and free from her pain at last. She’ll be sharing her story soon at our workshop, so if you want to know what she did we’ll be discussing it there. JOIN US!
PS. They’re now happily together and they didn’t divorce.
