Hi John!

Today I've got a "once in a blue moon" bonus email (in addition to my weekly newsletter) with something special for you...

If you’re going through a deconstruction of your beliefs and you’re worried about how it’s going to impact your relationship, you'll likely find it relevant and relatable.

I want to share a little story with you… and then I'll tell you about the brand-new resource I've shared further down.

DECONSTRUCTING IN RELATIONSHIP

When I was going through the peak of my deconstruction in 2010, I remember standing in my kitchen where my wife Lisa was crying. She was upset with how things were going.

She was breaking down in tears but I couldn’t feel anything and I couldn’t seem to care.

I remember feeling so numb, shut down, and wondering if I even wanted to do this thing called ‘marriage’ anymore.

And then I remember feeling so judgmental of myself because I didn’t even care.

Have you ever experienced something similar?

THE CHALLENGING JOURNEY

At the time, I had just left the ministry after 30 years as a Pastor. And now after 30+ years of marriage, I was thinking about throwing in the towel because I felt so challenged by my shifting beliefs and reality.

Fortunately, I was aware of my confusion and the challenging experience I was going through. I decided to NOT make any major life decisions while I was in that state because I knew that would be a big mistake!

This period of my life and relationship was so challenging for me because everything I grew up believing (and then teaching) was starting to fall apart. I had a lot of fear about how my spiritual changes were going to impact my relationship with Lisa, and I had so many questions…

⇒ Is Lisa going to leave me?

⇒ Would it be possible to still love each other despite having very different beliefs?

⇒ How will this change our life? Are we still going to go to church? Pray at meals? Etc.?

⇒ What were we going to tell our friends?

⇒ What were we going to tell our kids?

⇒ What about my parents? What are they going to think?

I’m sure you can relate to some of this because it’s one of the biggest challenges people face when their beliefs are changing - the impact on their family and relationships.

This moment in the kitchen was memorable for me because it was so potent. Feeling so numb, I knew I needed to get support, otherwise I’d be going down a very dangerous and lonely path.

WE MADE IT THROUGH

I loved Lisa and I didn’t want to lose her or my family, but I also needed to honor the truth of my changing beliefs.

So we hired coaches and therapists who supported us through this uncomfortable period in our relationship and, with a lot of work, we got to the other side.

Now, I’m so happy to say that we’ve ended up feeling more connected, trusting, and in love than we were before.

And we’re about to celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary next month!

7 RELATIONSHIP DANGERS OF DECONSTRUCTION

Deconstructing while in a relationship can be hard and I know how lonely and isolating it can be. I’ve been there. I’ve done that. And I’ve made all the mistakes along the way.

I’m grateful that after going through everything that I have I’m now able to support so many people and couples through their journey of deconstruction, and after realizing how big of an issue it is, I put together a brand new PDF resource where I share the 7 biggest dangers most relationships face when one partner is deconstructing… and how to avoid them!

I’m giving it away for free right now and I’d love to give you a copy…
