About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of not only doing the right thing in saving a marriage but also doing it the right way.
Today, I tackle a pretty sensitive subject: the difference between "Doing The Right Thing" and "Doing It Right." Let me be very clear: I believe that working to save your marriage is heroic work. It is pretty counter-cultural in our world of "throw away." We do it with stuff and relationships. I also believe that working on saving a marriage is courageous. It's pretty scary to be in the middle of a crisis, and to CHOOSE to work on the relationship. That is the definition of courage -- feeling fear, and choosing to act, anyway.

And I watch their efforts fail. Their desire to change things is absolutely there. But the approach is in trouble. It kind of reminds me of deciding to diet, then choosing an ice-cream diet. Probably not going to get the results you want (although it does sound delicious). Starting with the best of intentions is a great beginning point.
