Using a psychic to avoid marital discord

by Bob Schmidt

Many who suffer marital discord can benefit from spiritual help from a psychic. Fortunately, those with marriage trouble need not even believe in the abilities of psychics. The truth is that marital discord can be addressed by spiritual help from almost anyone willing to be a good listener.

Those who benefit from the power of a psychic are not necessarily believers of psychic powers. Positive results are the likely result of voicing the problems that exist within a troubled marriage. Anyone who buries their marriage problems instead of discussing them is likely to benefit from any activity that causes them to open up and examine their problems.

There is a great deal of misunderstanding as to the process of psychic counseling. The hint of the mysterious, and magical powers causes many ordinary people to avoid anyone who is reputed to have psychic powers. Images of witches and warlocks swirl in the mind, and possible connections with devil worship. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Psychics promising spiritual help for those with marital discord can provide a perfect environment for examining what ails a troubled relationship. Most psychics have great abilities as listeners, and are good communicators. It could be said that a good psychic performs the same function that one's best friend does. However, best friends are not necessarily the people that one wants to share the most personal of problems with.

Anyone considering the use of a psychic for spiritual help must be open to the idea that the potential for improving a relationship exists. They also must realize that some people have the ability to offer good counsel. An open mind to the possibility must exist for any psychic, or any other person to be useful.

The most useful function that anyone can perform to help reduce marital discord is to listen objectively. Because they are not emotionally involved in the problems, they can usually offer unbiased observations that can enlighten those with all sorts of problems. Additionally, the experienced counselor can suggest proven methods for improving communications between spouses.

Therein lies the greatest benefit of most psychics' success, they are great communicators themselves. Their ability to grasp the root of a problem, and help one understand what is really going on, is their greatest ability. Remember, the implication of the word psychic is a reference to things of the mind, or spirit. There is not necessarily anything mystical about those who profess to be psychics.

If your marital waters are troubled, the following suggestions might be of great benefit:

Find someone, a psychic or not, with whom you feel comfortable. Discuss your need to talk about your problems within the marriage. Agree upon the need for you to openly discuss all aspects relating to such problems. If they are willing, set a time and place for a relaxed meeting where there will be no time constraints.

Having dressed comfortably, meet with your psychic or friend with a positive attitude about fully addressing your marital problems. Soft lighting, with candles, possibly, can help set the mood for relaxed communication. Approach the conversation without feeling defensive about being "right or wrong" with specific problem areas.

Being honest with your friend, and with yourself is essential. Any attempt to be deceptive will negate any good that can come from spiritual guidance. If your psychic friend is to be of value, total faith in their function must exist. Once the communication commences, trust in your friend's observations. Remember, above all else, your friend is not the enemy. The problems are the enemy.

Many who seek help for troubled marriages have a virtual "laundry list" of things that bother them within a marriage. Most treat that list as a source of ammunition for the next argument on the horizon with their mate. Unfortunately, ammunition is used within the context of fighting. A good counselor can help one redefine how to discuss problem areas within the marriage.

Instead of attacking one another, spouses should express how each others actions make them feel. While the temptation to blurt out, "You never stop complaining!" may exist, that statement is actually an attack which will cause the accused to become defensive. There is no worthwhile communication with that.

On the other hand, if one says "When you complain a lot, it makes me feel ______ (fill in the blank)". Anger, and emotion makes us say things in unbecoming ways. Not only unbecoming, but also in ways that add to the argument. When we begin discussing how we feel, we are no longer in attack mode.

Any good listener can spot problems of this type. Experienced psychics can go a step beyond that by offering possible solutions. The same might be said of psychologists, ministers, and other professionals who deal with marital problems with frequency. The point is, help can come from any of many sources. There must be a source with which a person might feel comfortable.

While most clergy are trained in the areas of marriage counseling, some individuals do not respond to religious answers to their problems. This is unfortunate, but understandable. Most churches view marriage as an unbreakable contract which makes folks feel that they must endure whatever problems arise. It is most difficult for most clergy to successfully remove the religious aspect from the practical reality of a bad marriage.

By the same token, best friends tend to be too close to the problem that a marriage may have. It is so difficult to remove oneself from personal preferences or judgments already made. For that reason, psychologists and psychics tend to be better choices for many who are unhappily married. Without religious pressure, personal bias, or personal involvement; experienced marriage advisors may offer the best option.

Instead of living with problems that reduce the positive values of marital harmony, doing something about it is important. As creatures of habit, most people tend to continue making the same mistakes. Since our spouses are individuals that we love, or once loved, it only makes sense to invest in improving the marriage experience.

It also makes sense to remove barriers, real or imaginary, from finding the help within all of the communities available. There is no negative to investigating what is in our minds. There is also no negative to doing such with a psychic. With the intelligence that we possess, we should explore all possibilities as a testimony to our evolutionary growth as human beings.
