subject: Save The Marriage: Enjoying Your Married Life [print this page] During the first years of your marriage, you have surely felt like you were up in cloud nine and thought (and hoped) that the kind of feeling you had would stay forever. In the years that passed, you might have been disappointed to find out that this is not always the case for married couples: you would have to go through a lot of tough times, and if you are lucky enough, you would come out of the obstacles unscathed. But then, most of the time, you get into something really complicated that you seem to have lost all hope that you would be able to Save the Marriage you have.
The first thing you should know in making a relationship work is that all individuals have differences that may or may not be able to come to a compromise. In which case, the couple should work out these differences regardless of whether or not it seems to be impossible to be settled. Experts say that there really is not any complication that cannot be worked out: the important thing is that the couple is aware that there are issues to be dealt with, and that at least one of you knows how to start the "healing" process for your marriage to go smoothly.
There is a big difference between "keeping" your marriage and "saving" it, as the former is only intended to make two individuals stay in the relationship just for the sake of staying together, whereas the latter is bound to make the marriage a healthy and happier one. As one popular song puts it, "stay together for the kids" is not a very wise option compared to staying together to have that feeling of fulfillment and well-being.
Initially, if you would want to make things work for you and your partner, you have to be aware of what you are both going through at the moment. Whether it is about conflicts in schedules and priorities or infidelity issues, it is a must that you make yourself aware of what is going on between you two.

Mistakes are said to be likely to occur in repetition, and therefore this guide would help you know the things you can do to prevent them from ever happening again.
Last but not least, keep in mind that no matter how hackneyed and worn-out the adage "It takes two to tango" has been, making a marriage work boils down to meeting halfway, making compromises, and most important of all, making sure that the lines of communication are open at all times.
