To do a good job of encouraging your partner, pay attention to what is important to your partner. Too many people in a relationship give lots of encouragement for toward the goals they want instead of what their partner really wants. An example of encouragement might be: “You seem frustrated by your work lately. But I’ve seen you handle even worse problems. Tell me more about it.”

Hello Mark.
It sounds like there is more going on here than just the purchase of a new car. Remember compromise is key to any marriage issue. If you and your wife are interested in getting help for this issue, just email me privately together in the same email with both sides so maybe I can help in working out a compromise that will satisfy both of you.
The other option is to seek a marriage counselor in your area for a session.
Best Regards,
Dr. Tina Cannon

Help. Happily married for 23 years and my wife, who is now working part time after raising three great children, wants to buy a car, now. Her original plan was to save and pay cash for a used car. Now, she is consumed with I want a new car now, I deserve it. Her current auto is a 2003 SUV, which runs well and no longer serves out family. Still, I am at a loss on attemped comprise. “How much shall we save, if we buy a new car…”. This all to her is my not supporting her independence. She is at the point of qualifying (on her own) for a car. The result will be six years of car payments and a badly bruised marriage. I love my wife and am trying to be supportive but I do not know what to do, when anything short of her gettin the new car she wants now, is “not supporting me…”. Help?

I'm sure many of you are like me and one of the first things you do in the morning is head here and check out the new post. Along with seeing the new posts, I'm also always checking out the blog roll rss feed and watching them grow, or shrink sometimes. In one of my past ...but all in all excellent site. Keep it up!

It’s great to see a blog with good psychoeducation for couples to encourage them to take risks and improve their relationship.

We have also developed a Hope-focused marriage website to support couples and couples counselors to effectively love, have faith and work towards a healthy marriage.

These stages remind me of Sheldon Vanuaken’s evocative phrase, “Creeping Separateness,” which he used to describe the almost imperceptible shifting and moving apart which affects nearly every marriage and love, unless we are so mindful, and very intentional.

As a marriage and family therapist, I am well aware of this kind of poverty, but also the rich and varied opportunities for renewal and healing. In fact, the “return for investment” when couples take just SOME time to carefully regard and consider each other, to offer forgiveness and kindness, and interest… is really quite remarkable… and encouraging.

We have also developed a 500 card game which couples play in restaurants, over coffee, while out for a walk, which is designed to encourage risk taking, planning, sharing, and committing to new adventures and loving together. We have had such positive feedback from so many couples who are “playing the game;” some married just a year or two, and others who have been married for 40 years.
