Give your relationship a makeover by Dr. Margot Brown

Greetings to all God's people I thank each of you for your love and support of the ministry. Remember God loves you with an everlasting love. My guest tonight is Dr. Margot Brown a Licensed marriage therapist, Dr. Margot E. Brown, sees a common trend in what her patients argue about: breakdown in communication, stresses about money, sex, and the division of daily chores. Her new book, Kickstart Your Relationship Now! Move on or Move Out!, introduces a plausible solution to help couples solve these issues: the 72-Hour Rule.

According to Dr. Brown, who holds a Doctorate in Psychology, “you should only discuss (not argue) things that happened over the past 72 hours. There’s no benefit to debating about the past from months or years ago. Couples must distance themselves from the past and focus on the now. Further, if you are upset about something, but decide it isn’t really worth bringing up in conversation to state your worries within the first 72 hours, the rule says to let it go.”

Kickstart Your Relationship Now! provides step-by-step exercises to help partners communicate better as well as strategies to tackle tough issues including infidelity, anger, intimacy issues, and domestic abuse. Loving someone and being in a committed relationship is never easy, and Dr. Brown asserts that you can’t be afraid to be honest with yourself or your partner.

In the book Dr. Brown discusses:

·  Constructively changing your behavior, or how to approach the topic of changing your partner’s behavior.

·  How to decide whether it’s time to break up or is it worth trying to salvage your relationship.
