    Tip of the Week: Don't put off asking for help. »

    When it comes to reaching out for help, don't wait too long. 

    A few weeks ago, I ran into a woman that had recovered from breast cancer.  She was meeting with a family that had just lost their mother to the disease.  Afterwards, she told me privately that the reason she was spared the same fate as her friend was they caught it early.  Every year she went in for an exam and it was during one of those exams that they caught it.  There is an 80% recovery rate if it is caught before it spreads to the lymph glands. 

    Like with breast cancer, many marriages meet their doom because people wait too long to seek out help.  A constant complaint among marriage counselors and mentors is that couples wait too long before they call.  For instance, one couple that Lee Ann and I are mentoring now are headed for a divorce that could have been prevented if they had called us six months ago.  Their procrastination has allowed their problems to cement, and now,  it's next to impossible for them to break out..

    If you are struggling in your marriage, don't be afraid to reach out for help.  Call us at 1-877-866-4372 and ask to meet with a mentor couple.
