Question
42: "I'm
married with one child. My parents divorced when I was a teenager and
it's had a big impact on my marriage. I live in the thought that, because
my parents divorced, I won't be able to keep my marriage together. I
hate that feeling, but don't know how to get rid of it."
Kiro:
You believe you are cursed by your parents'
divorce,
so you create story that your marriage will end in same way.
By believing story your marriage will end,
you may do things that are unwise.
You may try too hard and worry too much,
which will put conflict into your relationship.
To make your marriage last,
change your story.
Instead of thinking you are cursed by your parents' divorce,
tell story that you will do better.
Learn from their mistakes,
so you avoid repeating them.
By learning from their mistakes,
your marriage will get better so it lasts.
