Fatherly

 

In any healthy relationship, partners should be able to tell one another everything. That's easier said than done, as certain topics can require much more tact. And it can be particularly difficult if you need to tell them something you know they won't want to hear or need them to make a change. Despite the challenge, such discussions are often necessary to fight off resentment and spur growth. So this begs the question: What, exactly, is the best way to do it? How do you ask someone to change? What do you say? How much time do you need to give them to make said change? What goal markers should be placed along the way? This is what to know.

Marriage Advice to Memorize: “No Old Garbage”
This tip comes courtesy of Charles Savenor, who’s been married for 17 years. It works like this: When there’s a martial issue that arises, he and his wife discuss it, they resolve it, and they can never bring it up again. Now, Savenor points out that, no, this doesn’t lead to marital bliss because life is never without issues, and it’s a really challenging rule to follow at first. But, he says, it’s the greatest piece of marriage advice he ever received. “This approach trains you to really think about your relationship not just in the moment, but also in the future,” he says. “ It makes me think How can I make this better the next time? How can I be better right now? We get a chance to move forward without being shackled to past mistakes and conflicts that are behind us.

We asked a group of men to share the marriage advice that never fails them. Here’s more of what they told us.
