Trying to change a marriage for the better can be a very difficult task, and it requires great strength to do so. One of the most common things that can cause strain on a relationship is the lack of trust. It's even harder when there is an event that has taken place that caused the lack of trust in your marriage. Although we must learn to truly forgive in order to move on in marriage, too often we say that we have forgiven but we have not.
Please don't think the fault falls all just one of you, but each of you share equal responsibility to building and repairing your marriage. So instead of pointing fingers at one another, you two should come to agreement in dedicating time and effort to improving your marriage.
Steps You Both Can Take to Save Your Marriage
When you both take the initiative to be proactive about getting results, you'll be amazed at how mountains seem to move out of the way of your marriage.
-make time for your spouse
-take a walk and talk about the simplicities of everyday life
-stay focused on discussing no stressful topics
-let your spouse know that you enjoy being in their presence
In giving this advice, one thing I want to be sure NOT to do is give false hope. Because the simple truth is, some marriages won't be saved. One person can not do it all...
However your marriage is a union that is worth fighting for, do all that you can to save your marriage today. No one else can do it for you, and you won't have any regrets about what you failed to do later.
