Over 2 million couples get divorced each year in the world and twice this number of couples is experiencing marital problems right now! In this throw away society that we live in, it is all too easy to get divorced. However, what if you really believe in marriage? What if, when you said "I do" it meant for life? If you are not prepared to throw in the towel and are willing to fight to save your marriage, then there are things that you can do today to save it!
The first thing that you will need to do is to keep all lines of communication open with your spouse. All the time you are communicating then action can be taken to get your marriage back on track. However it is ok communicating, but you need to make sure that everything that you say from now on can be perceived in a positive way by your partner. This doesn't mean giving in to their demands, but instead be committed to understanding to the needs and feelings of your partner. Think about this; every positive action that you take will result in a positive reaction from your partner. So with this in mind, make sure that communication with your partner is always done in a calm, rational and above all positive manner. When a proposal is mentioned that you do not necessarily agree with, then compromise is the key. Try to agree to meet half way, however difficult this may seem and move forward together.
Be receptive to change! You will not fix your marriage if you are not prepared to take the bull by the horns and take action. If you start to think introspectively then you are on the road to improving your marriage. By this I mean thinking back to a time when you were both happy in your relationship and remembering when and under what circumstances you might have changed. Often a change in dynamic might be the root cause of this unhappiness. For example, your may have a different job, or even added pressures in your current job that you didn't have before and as a result of this, you might not be spending enough time with your spouse. This in turn might have them feeling neglected and unloved. This may well have been going on for a while without you even noticing it. So you need to look at ways to get this happiness back. If your spouse is feeling neglected then you need to make time for some "one on one" quality time. Clear your diary, state a day and time and stick to it! Maybe go for a long walk or picnic together, or go to your favourite restaurant. Taking action will not only tell your partner that you take their feelings and needs seriously, but that you are willing to do whatever it takes to change your marriage for the better. Once your spouse sees that you are doing everything you can to change the situation, then this will spur them on to make necessary changes on their side.
These are a few actions that you can take today to start to turn your relationship around. However this is merely the tip of the iceberg. Your marriage didn't breakdown overnight and therefore it probably will not be fixed overnight.
