In this concluding portion, Maurice Harker, Director of Life Changing Services, summarizes key points and provides further guidance on the process of navigating a relationship with a husband who is not fulfilling his role as a spouse:
Notebook and Preparation: Maurice suggests that a notebook should be prepared listing everything that could be of concern for discussion. This notebook is meant to facilitate open communication during the process of rebuilding trust.
Airplane Engineers and Pilots: The analogy of airplane engineers and pilots is used to explain the need for individuals to take on the role of fixing their own issues and mistakes. Just as airplane engineers address problems to prevent crashes, individuals should actively work on themselves to prevent relationship crashes.
Involvement of the Wife: During the initial phases of self-assessment and blueprinting, the wife is generally not involved. This is because the focus is on the man's understanding of his own behaviors and thought processes that led to the problems.
Emotional Intimacy and Trust Building: Emotional intimacy is emphasized as a critical component of relationship repair. Maurice explains that by engaging in emotional intimacy exercises, the husband can develop skills to effectively communicate and engage with his wife.
Responsibility and Qualification as a Husband: Maurice emphasizes that men should take responsibility for their role as a husband, which revolves around presiding, providing, and protecting the wife. He underscores the importance of men working on themselves to fulfill this role effectively.
Personal Growth and Change: The process of rebuilding trust involves personal growth and change for the man, focusing on understanding his own behaviors and thought patterns, blueprinting a new way of thinking, and actively practicing this new approach.
Engaging in Conversation: After the self-assessment and blueprinting phases, the man can engage in a conversation with his wife, addressing concerns, answering questions, and sharing the changes he's committed to making.
Consultation and Support: Maurice encourages individuals to seek guidance and support from coaches, mentors, and support groups during the process of relationship repair.
Consulting with God: In cases where the relationship feels empty or challenging, the host suggests consulting with God to determine the best course of action, whether to stay and work through the challenges or move forward.
Closing Thoughts: Maurice shares that he's opened up direct communication through texting and assures participants that they shouldn't be hesitant to reach out. The goal is to support individuals through this process and serve them in rebuilding trust and restoring their relationships.
In conclusion, the host underscores the importance of taking responsibility, self-assessment, communication, and personal growth in the journey of repairing and rebuilding relationships after betrayal trauma.
