Most marriage advice starts in the wrong place. It asks you to change your spouse.
I have worked with couples for more than three decades, and here is the pattern I see the most often. One person is convinced the marriage will be fine once the other person shapes up. It is an understandable thought. It is also, in my experience, the one thought that tends to make things worse, not better.
The good news is you do not need your spouse to read this. You do not need them to agree to anything. You just need nine principles, applied by you.
The nine principles, in the order I still teach them:
This is one page, not a workbook. Print it and keep it somewhere you will actually see it. That is the whole design.
- Positivity.
- The one that comes first, on purpose.
- Values.
- What you actually stand on, named.
- Humility.
- A strength, not a weakness.
- Forgiveness.
- What it actually means (and the one thing it does not).
- Respect, Love, Compassion, Work, Wholesome Recreation.
- The rest of the list, rounding it out.
I'm Dr. Paul Jenkins.
I've spent more than 30 years in clinical practice working with couples, and I still teach these same nine principles in my own coaching today. This isn't theory. It's what I've seen work firsthand, with the couples who applied it.
