This Blog Will Not Save Your Marriage

20 Jan 2012 by davidlpatrick, 6 Comments »

If you haven’t noticed. It’s been quite a while since I’ve last posted. I’ve been busy with work projects, some personal business projects, a load of personal life stuff, enjoying my wife and doing more planning for things we have going for 2012. I thought – “Blast!, I have got to get back to posting on Happily Married After.”

I have a list of topics that I have written to choose from, but every time I look at it I just don’t feel inspired to write. Frankly, these days I’ve been feeling that I’ve really said all I wanted to say on the topic. I feel like one of my marriage blog counterparts, Kathleen in her posts here and here. There are hundreds of great marriage blogs out there and we are all whipping out tips and being champions for marriage daily so I know there are resources available for you when I haven’t posted. Like Kathleen, I want to make sure what I share with you here is continually worthwhile to you and not trite marriage tips.

It occurred to me that this blog will not save your marriage, really. Neither will the hundreds of others. We can offer tips, suggestions, news and wear our fingers to the bone typing and telling you all we know – sharing our most private details of our lives in order to help you change in your marriage, but none of us have that power. When we marriage bloggers share with you these things, they are suppose to help you recognize something in yourself or to help you be more tolerant to the place that your spouse is in – but if you don’t see how it applies to you and execute a plan – it’s just bathroom reading material! We can no better save your marriage, than the minister or pastor at your church can save your situation. We can only point you in a direction.

I am working on a project with some other marriage bloggers, that I hope will be released some time this year and I will not stop blogging here. I have some more things to say. But your job is to make sure that this year to not let another year pass and you’ve not executed what you’ve learned. Take responsibility for your own marriage.

    I love the title of this post. So true! No blog or book can save a marriage — not on its own. I appreciate the honesty and frankness of this post. Blogging is hard work sometimes. Hope to hear more from you!

    I think you are right. There is a time for talking, a time for reading and researching and ultimately, it will come to nought if we don;t take action.

    Nice post, unless I am willing to follow through on the suggestions or initiate those conversations nothing will ever change. My marriage is my responsibility. Reading is good, but if nothing ever follows then what good was my reading? Thank you for the reminder.

    I have to agree with you on the response to take responsibility for your own marriage.  It is up to you as a couple to make your marriage work.  If it is not working then communicate with your spouse and maybe add some Adult Novelties  into the bedroom.
