Removing Irrational Fears: 7 Labor Day Lessons for Your Marriage
Happy Labor Day Weekend to all of you.
Wear coming up on our holiday weekend are still talking about fears in our life, love, marriage and family series.
We pray that you are planning some rest, relaxation and fun with your spouse.
Fears sometimes can save us.
Fear can protect us when it is in the realm of possibility like almost dying when we drive recklessly.
But irrational fears can eat away at the foundations of a successful marriage if we are not careful.
Trusting your mate and your marriage is the ultimate labor of love.
Here are some positive ways to remove your irrational fears that can cause relationship issues if you aren’t are careful:
Live in Reality- What makes fears irrational is when they are outside the realm of possibility. When you know you are less likely to deal with some fictional scenario in your head, you are less likely to make that an argument in your marriage.
To reduce stress and anxiety, set realistic expectations. If your spouse is 5 minutes late but you know after work traffic can be tough, most likely they aren’t cheating but just sitting in it. Being realistic can help alleviate problems before they start.
Communicate Concerns- To avoid fighting with your spouse in your head and not in reality, you need to be in constant communication with them. Checking in on your marriage and family, talking about issues as they arise and letting things go when they are settled helps you stop being afraid to talk things out with your partner. Your mate isn’t around for you to control or nag, but many issues can be resolved when you open your mouth and be honest with them.
Strengthen Your Bonds- When you work on the power of your relationship with your other half, you have loyality, trust and committment that makes worries subside. You don’t even think about their phone or social media profile because you know you can depend on them. You strengthen your bond through couples building activities, keeping your word and showing up when your mate needs you. By doing things you say you will, they can trust you in sticky situations to be open and honest.
Educate Yourself- Some things are worrisome in our minds before we experience them. Education helps stop irrational fears by teaching us the reality and realistic situations in a logical way. We learn by doing, reading and watching videos on particular subjects. Couples can talk with older married couples, read self-help books and do more marriage retreats to establish the fears they have and solutions to break them to win.

Get Therapy- A counselor, coach, minister, and/or therapist can help you identify the source of your fears and utilize the latest in technology to ensure your fear are subsided. Cognitive Behavior Therapy, for example, is a slow process in which a traumatic experience is relieved little by little while a professional explains and helps you process what actually happened. It stops your brain from reliving these situations at inopportune times.
Understand Disorders Exist- There are a few disorders associated with fear and knowing them can help you understand what is going on with you.
Here are some of the anxiety disorders that involve irrational fears:
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) involves irrational fear that isn’t related to anything specific.
Social anxiety disorder is tied to an irrational fear of embarrassing yourself publicly and limits you at school, work, social circles.
Specific phobias are centered around an intense irrational fear of a specific object or situation, like airplanes, spiders, and public speaking.
Panic disorder occurs when intense and possibly irrational fears bring on a panic attack. You may develop an irrational fear of panic attacks themselves.
One studyTrusted Source shows a link between specific phobias and the part of the brain where fear is conditioned.
More than 31%Trusted Source of adults will experience anxiety in their lives. Symptoms of anxiety may include:
feeling tense or edgy, both mentally and physically
fatigue
irritability
inability to concentrate or focus

Proper diagnosis, understanding and follow up on these disorders let you find positive solutions that doesn’t involve ruining your marriage.
Control what you can- You are not rapper Mystical, and you won’t win if you fight a bear. But you can control a lot in your marriage to help you alleviate fears. For example, a well thought out financial plan including a life insurance policy helps you prepare for the worse and build wealth. When you focus on what you can do instead of what you can, you don’t have to worry about the unknown, get burnout from overextending yourself, or nag your partner to death from your worries. Trust the Lord with all your problems and work as hard as you can where you can.
Key Points:
Fear is not our friend. Faith is the opposite of fear.
Trust God, Trust yourself and Trust your mate when you are building your marriage to last.
There are ways to alleviate fear when you acknowledge that they exist and that you are human.
Fight to win at life, love, marriage and family because it is a life hack when done right with the right person.
Enjoy your holiday and remember to be Iconic.
