When doing nothing is everything

Podcast: Download

We’ve already discussed how men want to solve problems. We are all action oriented and doing things makes us feel good about ourselves.

So, an honest question: Have you ever wanted to do something so badly, only to end up doing something useless, stupid, or destructive? Or is it just me?

In fact, I know it’s not just me because I’ve seen it in other men. I’ve seen the consequences of it in the marriages Lori and I have worked with. do something, anythingit feels better than doing nothing. So we can get into trouble even if we don’t fully understand the situation and how our actions will affect you.

I came to realize that this natural impulse was not a good thing. As difficult as it is, sometimes the best option is to do nothing. What’s more, sometimes doing nothing is the only sensible option.

Would your life or your marriage benefit if you did nothing in certain situations?
