Here are the things to consider from Chapter 4 of “Getting Over It”…

~ Forgiviness is for you, stupid!

~ Acitvate forgivness by understanding why.

~ Develop faith by thinking of situations that “worked out” (i.e., the ong run).

~ Do you want to be “right” or happy?

~ Blaming accomplishes nothing positive.

This is a very helpful chapter titled, “Forgive, But Don’t Forget” By reading it, it allows you to take a deeper look at your ending marriage and gives you the tools to move in a postive direction.

1. Make it special with your kids. Do something that you wouldn’t ordinarily do.

2. Teach them about “romance” and how it doesn’t always end badly and give examples.

3. If you are ready… be courageous and find a date. Tell your friends you are ready and get back out there.

Short and sweet!

Weekly Book Excerpt:

“Try to make it worse… So face your fears; dredge up whatever is the most painful thing for you. It may be that for you the most painful thing is to think of your husband with that other woman at the nicest restaurant in town laughing, joking, touching, gazing into each other’s eyes, having a wonderful time whily you are at home making dinner for the kids. You might not even know if that example actually happened. Just imagine that it did, and then make it worse.”

This might sound strange to you, but I have received a ton of positive feedback about this chapter in my book. This part has nothing to do with the kids. It’s about how you feel about your spouse being unfaithful, or wanting to leave if that was the case. It’s about facing the pain and dealing with it. Take a futher look in the book!
