Interesting insight regarding the stages of marriage. Awareness of these stages is a good thing, as long as one of the spouses does not get too obsessed with the potential dangers.

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?

Hi Tina,

As a former school guidance counselor, I realize that the role that you assume is so crucial. You’re truly making the “proverbial difference” in the lives of these families.

Unfortunately, too many parents do not seek guidance and direction and fail to acquire “parenting skills” — some oblivious to their children’s basic emotional needs.

In this chaotic world, where we adults are having are own difficult times navigating life, there are so many “little things” that we can do to benefit ourselves and particularly our children (hugs, kisses, open dialogue, praise, etc.).

Tina, keep on working in the field and writing about parenting — and your message will be heard by many.

I truly appreciate your contribution!

Warm Regards,
Andy Lax

Andy, I agree with you 100%. “Children learn what they live.” When I am working with a child patient, I often spend a lot of time with their parents helping them learn how to parent in a positive, proactive and validating way. Most parents just need a little guidance in the right direction and when they see the difference in their child, it is amazing! Thanks for your wonderful comment.

This blog entry should be mandatory reading for all parents as too many of us tend to be reactive than proactive in our approach and interaction with our kids.
Spending time with children, being openly affectionate and demonstrative of our love, communicating (particularly LISTENING to our kids), and modeling respect and compassion will help our children become emotionally healthy adults.

My wife and I have a plaque in our house with a poem whose title is “Children Learn What They Live.” It’s an important reminder … of what’s really important.

Best Regards,
Andy Lax

I really agree with these tips you have given. They are sounding very simple but are probably not easy, at first. Getting counselling and psychotherapy can probably help build one’s confidence and competence in positive parenting for perhaps, until we know how to “parent” ourselves, can we really parent others effectively?
