Today's question came to us through email: "On the 5-CD Set you guys talk about not gossiping about marriage problems to a lot of people. I, unfortunately, have discussed my marriage issues with a lot of friends over the past year and now I constantly have people asking me questions and wanting to find out new details. How do I correct this?"
This is a topic we thought a lot of people might be struggling with. It is SO important to keep your conversations about your marriage problems between yourself and your spouse because that keeps your communication open. When you start involving other people it's really easy for your friends to take your side making it difficult for you to see changes you might need to make.
If you need some outside advice, choose ONE very loyal, very mature friend that will give it to you straight.
As for your other friends, put your foot down. Just say, "I'm really working on fixing the problems in my marriage and that means only discussing them with my spouse. It doesn't help to gossip about them, so please respect my choice." If your friend only wants to talk about the negative, maybe they weren't really a true friend to begin with.
Thank you for your questions! You can get them to us through email, facebook, twitter, or this blog!
See you next week!

Challenge Wednesday 12/28/11
Welcome to Challenge Wednesday! This post is for those who have kids. Today we are focusing on:
Day 18: Talk to your kids
No matter what age your kids are, if they know about the possibility of divorce between you and your spouse, talk openly with them about how they are feeling. They are going to be greatly affected by this decision either way and they deserve a chance to give their input.
If your kids are small or don't know that you have been discussing divorce, just talk openly about how they are feeling in general. Ask how they feel about the family right now, whether or not they are happy with the way things are.
Children are very intuitive and probably know a lot more about the situation than you think they do. Keep them high on the priority list!

Challenge Wednesday 12/21/11
Hey everybody! It's time for Challenge Wednesday! Today we're focusing on:
Day 5: Have a conversation with your spouse about your marriage
Sound too simple? You would be surprised how little your spouse may know about what's really bothering you. And there also may be some things you don't know that you need to change. You may think the problems should be obvious and maybe you and your spouse have discussed it a million times, but HOW did you say it?
Take a drive or sit down in a quiet place. STAY CALM. STAY FOCUSED. Without accusing each other, discuss what changes need to be made. Get it all out on the table. If you approach this conversation from a loving place, you may just get somewhere.
To start your 30-Day Challenge go to saveyourmarriagein30.com and click "Videos". You will also find a more detailed version in Janeen's new book "Save Your Marriage in 30"!

Q&A Friday 12-9-11
Happy Friday everyone! We don't have a video today, but the question we'll be looking at has to do with the subject of our last post.
"Is Janeen planning on doing any book signings in other states? I've been working on the free challenge on the website and am planning on buying the book. I'd like to do it at a book signing if I can! Thanks!"
Great question! We're happy to see that Save Your Marriage in 30 is spreading and helping people!
So far book signings are only scheduled in Utah, but you never know! We certainly hope to start getting to other places and connecting with more people. We had our very first book signing last night at Janeen's home which was a blast! A big thank you to everyone who attended. Here is a picture before the festivities started:
Our next book signing will be at the University Mall in Orem, UT on December 17th. We are also working on the final details for a one-hour workshop + book signing at Utah Valley University sometime in January. We hope as many people can get there as possible!
As for other states, the best thing you can do is tell people about the book and the program! Send them to saveyourmarriagein30.com so they can start their free 30-Day Challenge. The more people we have in an area wanting a book signing the more possible it is!
Thank you for your question! We'll see you on Breaking News Monday!
