How long do you drive around with your check engine light on?

Sometimes when you’re driving happily along in your car, truck or SUV, you might notice a light that comes on and stays on on your dashboard. It’s the ‘check engine’ light. It usually means that there’s something going wrong under your hood that needs attention. You can continue to drive without checking it out or you can pay attention to this signal that something is malfunctioning. If you wait and the car breaks down, you may have costly repair bills. If you look into it before its too late, you can save yourself a lot of trouble.

It’s the same in relationships. Did you know that the average couple waits 6 years to get help with a major problem in their relationship? Yes, they know something went wrong—maybe that infidelity, or that situation with the pornography—but the average couple will just wait and hope things resolve themselves over time. Time does not automatically heal all hurts. Sometimes, just like a car, you need a specialist to take a look around and switch out some old parts for some new ones. Maybe a relationship needs a little boost in negotiating or problem solving. Whenever that relationship ‘check engine’ light comes on it is best to handle it sooner than later. The longer some problems linger, the bigger and scarier they get.

If your ‘check engine’ light is on and you know that something somewhere isn’t quite right, maybe you need an objective perspective to run it by. We at LiSENSE 2 DATE are here for you.
