Three Common Relationship Problems & Some Refreshing New Solutions.

All those marriage books you've read and most of the advice regarding marriage that you got from your girlfriends could be wrong. Here are three common problems with the usual outdated advice and the new 21st century alternatives.

Problem Number One: Your Relationship Isn't Working Out The Way You Would Like It To.
Old Fashioned Advice: Leave him and move on to someone else.
21st Century Advice: It's up to you to take responsibility to fix your life. Nobody can make you happy but yourself. Look for ways to make your marriage work and to keep your family together, not by trying to change your husband, but by enriching your own life. Peace and fulfillment come from within, no one else can give them to you.

Problem Number Two: Your Spouse Has Become Predictable & Boring (And He Feels The Same Way About You)
Old Fashioned Advice: Take a holiday and spend time re-connecting.
21st Century Advice: There's lots of truth in the old saying "Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder." Spending too much time together and doing everything together makes for a dull, stale relationship. Time apart may be just what you need to get sparks flying again. Send your hubby hunting with his buddies or go on a trip with your kids or best friend. Spend some time apart on a daily basis too. Cultivate your own independent interests and give your husband the space to cultivate his.

Problem Number Three: Your Husband Doesn't Fit Your Idea of Mr. Perfect.
Old Fashioned Advice: Keep trying to change him and mold him into your idea of the perfect husband.
21st Century Advice: Accept him for who he is and celebrate his uniqueness. So what if he wears socks with sandals and hates the opera? Get a friend to go with you to see the chick flick you wanted to rather than dragging your unwilling husband along. The truth is that the more your husband remains his own person the more you will respect him in the long run. You wouldn't want to be married to a man who was too cowardly to stand up for himself, would you?

So are you ready to take your marriage into the 21st Century? You can by leaving all the old outdated advice behind and applying some new 21st Century solutions to old marital problems.
