Why NO CONTACT Does NOT Work For Marriages

Tactics like “No Contact” can actually have a negative impact on what you’re trying to accomplish in your marriage relationship- especially if your marriage is in trouble (and you’re willing to do whatever it takes to get your spouse back).

If you haven’t heard of “No Contact” before it basically means that for a set period of time, you ignore your “ex.” A lot of times, “No Contact” refers to dating (which is different from a marriage relationship). The premise of “No Contact” is “absence makes the heart grow fonder.” But you see, there is a MUCH different commitment level between dating and marriage.

Here’s why “No Contact” doesn’t work in a marriage- you don’t want to create unhealthy patterns of communication where you “ignore your spouse for a period of time” in order to get them to do what you want them to do. Simply put, it won’t help your relationship grow in the future.

So, what if your spouse comes back? What then??

Well, unlike “No Contact,” you can’t ignore the hard conversations. You can’t manipulate your spouse. Instead, you need to do the right things for your relationship. No tactics. Hard work. Creating patterns of healthy communication with your spouse using “SMART Contact.”

You need to do things that will help your relationship get to where it needs to be. Healthy communication must happen for your relationship to continue (and for your relationship to grow!).

So remember to ask yourself, What is your intention behind a “tactic” or “No Contact”? Are you shutting your spouse out with the intention of having them miss you to come back? To get them to do what you want them to do? If so, consider SMART Contact instead.

With SMART Contact, you’ll be able to communicate in healthy ways (for the long-term!!) based on research and practiced in the lives (and marriages) of thousands! Get the SMART Contact Toolkit here: https://marriagehelper.com/smart-cont...
