\"\"One of the great things about Country Music is it\u2019s colorful, honest, and oftentimes in your face.\u00a0 I came across a song just the other day that made me stand up and listen.\u00a0 It\u2019s called \u201cMy Give A Damn is Busted.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s a new song to me, although I discovered it\u2019s been out for awhile.\u00a0 But the message is compelling and one we need to take to heart.<\/p>\n

Here is the point of the song: Oftentimes we avoid confrontation.\u00a0 We avoid telling people what we want and what we really need until somewhere down the road, a switch gets thrown and we don\u2019t care anymore.<\/p>\n

Hey, if in your marriage you\u2019re avoiding confronting the realities, you need to do it now, sooner than later while you still care.\u00a0 If you\u2019re not having sexual intimacy, good conversation, conflict resolution; if there\u2019s an elephant in the room – the bedroom, the living room, or any other room in your house – avoiding it simply means that one day you\u2019re going to wake up and one of you won\u2019t care, and what was precious and sacred will have died.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It happens in marriages.\u00a0 It happens between children and their parents, and between partners in business. I know you hate confrontation.\u00a0 Any good person does.\u00a0 But the sooner you deal with the conflic<\/strong>t right before you, the unresolved expectation, or the hurt feeling while you still care, the more you\u2019ll make sure that your give a damn is not busted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
