Find Ways to Make Yourself Ridiculously Happy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The threat of divorce has a way of making you cry in your Cheerios or your Riesling (or the two together, which seems like a reasonable meal when your heart is broken).<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not saying to squash that heartache down or dismiss it. Of course those feelings need their day in the sun. You\u2019re having them for a reason.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, consider purposefully doing at least three things a day for frivolous fun&#8211;like riding your bike, taking a bath or a nap, or getting out the paints or your guitar. Play with your pets, have coffee with a friend, call your sister, sing at the top of your lungs and play Words with Friends.<\/p>\n<p>Do things to delight yourself even if they cost money, like a mani-pedi or a massage.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s why this matters so much: When my marriage was at the lowest point, I thought my husband was doing a lousy job making me happy.<\/p>\n<p>Turns out, that important job is mine, not his.<\/p>\n<p>Only happy people have happy relationships, and I had lost sight of whose responsibility it was to make me happy. I had gotten used to being miserable, which is no way to go through life.<\/p>\n<p>You may still find yourself feeling weepy, but making it your priority to fill yourself up to the point of giddiness will not only help you cope better, it could just save your marriage because it will restore your confidence and make you more attractive.<\/p>\n<p>You may feel selfish doing 3 things that delight you every day at first, but think of all the people who depend on you, then put your own oxygen mask on first. That\u2019s what this self-care is: taking responsibility for your own happiness.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re anything like I was, it will be challenging to figure out what you like to do. That\u2019s okay. You\u2019ll get the hang of it and start to feel amazing in no time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Say_I_Cant_and_Ouch_Instead_of_Biting_the_Bait\"><\/span>3. Say \u201cI Can\u2019t\u201d and \u201cOuch!\u201d Instead of Biting the Bait<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re still in the ring going five rounds with your husband about custody, finances or selling the house, it\u2019s a good bet that he\u2019s baiting you by saying things that he knows will make you react.<\/p>\n<p>He makes a snide remark, insults you, or ropes the kids into the mud when you\u2019re trying to protect them. It\u2019s exhausting and stressful!<\/p>\n<p>Consider reacting with no reaction. Let his head explode that you\u2019re not defending, throwing back insults or rushing in to protect the kids even.<\/p>\n<p>This may sound like crazy talk, but I\u2019ve seen it work wonders in restoring peace in the family.<\/p>\n<p>Emma felt so empowered when her estranged husband called to say that she had to come pick up their daughter\u2019s forgotten end-of-semester schoolwork at his house or her daughter would suffer the consequences. Her calm response was \u201cI can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was shorthand for \u201cI can\u2019t make that drive without being resentful.\u201d She didn\u2019t say that part, nor did she engage in a conversation about it beyond those two powerful words.<\/p>\n<p>Her husband upped the bait by attacking her and saying that it was on Emma if their daughter had to repeat the sixth grade, which felt like huge bait, but she simply said \u201cOuch!\u201d And nothing else. No defending, no arguing, no negotiating.<\/p>\n<p>Her husband not only made the drive to get the schoolwork himself, he later texted an apology like she\u2019d never seen in all the years they\u2019d been married. She was moved by how accountable he was.<\/p>\n<p>Who knew that she could get the words she\u2019d been longing for by saying next to nothing?<\/p>\n<p>I certainly didn\u2019t know that before I learned the Intimacy Skills either, so the pain of feeling lonely and hopeless built until I felt completely hopeless.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, I was too embarrassed to go through with the divorce. So I asked women who had happy marriages for their secrets. That\u2019s how I learned that being successful in marriage is a skill, like playing piano, and not just a matter of luck, like playing roulette.<\/p>\n<p>But there was no Relationships 101 course at my school, and I bet there wasn\u2019t at yours either. That\u2019s not your fault.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the upside I see now: Without excruciating pain, I wouldn&#8217;t have started this journey or have the 28-year marriage of my dreams to the same man I once thought was a Loser Pants. Now I hate to see anyone suffer unnecessarily. I want every woman to have the Six Intimacy Skills.<\/p>\n<p>You may think that being on the brink of divorce is the wrong time to learn Intimacy Skills, but that heartbreak was the doorway to something wondrous for me, and it can be for you too.<\/p>\n<p>To quote Maya Angelou, \u201cI wouldn\u2019t take nothin\u2019 for my journey now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t let the pain go to waste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was on the brink of divorcing my husband, I was desperate to end the pain of constantly feeling rejected and lonely.

I'm Laura. New York Times Bestselling Author I was the perfect wife--until I actually got married. When I tried to tell my husband how to be more romantic, more ambitious, and tidier, he avoided me. I dragged him to marriage counseling and nearly divorced him. I then started talking to women who had what I wanted in their marriages and that\u2019s when I got my miracle. The man who wooed me returned. I wrote a few books about what I learned and accidentally started a worldwide movement of women who practice The Six Intimacy Skills\u2122 that lead to having amazing, vibrant relationships. The thing I\u2019m most proud of is my playful, passionate relationship with my hilarious husband John\u2013who has been dressing himself since before I was born.","sameAs":["https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lauradoyle.org\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lauramdoyle\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lauramdoyle\/","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/intimacyskills\/","https:\/\/x.com\/lauramdoyle","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/lauradoyleauthor"],"url":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/author\/stmonday\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8734"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8734\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8734"},{"taxonomy":"app","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/app?post=8734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
