subject: Some Of The Ways To Save The Marriage You Hold Dear [print this page] It's quite interesting to note how the rate of marriages ending up in divorce and separation seems to be increasing year by year. Gone are the days when marriage was hailed sacred and that the married couples never part their ways no matter what. Nowadays, a lot of couples don't even consider keeping the relationship and don't even bother learning ways to save the marriage. They just go on their own separate ways just like that and let their divorce lawyers handle everything.
Nowadays, when couples feel that they are on a failing marriage, they tend to just wait for the time they hit rock bottom and would go for a divorce. Sometimes, they don't even wait long enough to hit the ground. They start processing their legal separation already without considering that may be, just may be, there are branches from their relationship that they can cling to and can save their fall. Where's the effort to keep your marriage? Sad to say, most couples don't even care.
Save the marriage and the relationship that you treasure so much through these efforts:
Stop yelling You get the picture: couples arguing, faces close to each other but still yelling their lungs out. The reason why several couples tend to yell at each other when they argue is that they want the other to listen and hear them out. But screaming actually makes it worse because neither you nor your spouse understands what each other are saying. Calm yourselves down. Have a seat and take turns on listening at each other.
Avoid conflicts They say conflicts are part of married life. Granted that is true, that doesn't mean it's okay for you and your partner to fight every single time. Both of you have to try avoiding conflicts as much as possible. Come to think of this: we all know that diseases are part of our world but why do we still try to immune ourselves with medications, vaccines and the like? It's because we have a choice and I think it's best if you choose to stir away from conflicts if you can.
Visit your marriage counselor Some couples only pay their marriage counselor a visit when they have existing issues. How about setting up an appointment with your marriage counselor even if you and your partner don't have current problems with your relationship? S/he still can help you with some useful advice and more marriage tips.
Enhance communication Misunderstanding or miscommunication, these two are contributing factors to a failing marriage. How will you and your partner understand the needs of each other if you don't communicate effectively? How will you know what's going on in your relationship if you don't even bother listening?
