Marriage problems as you probably have figured out are frustrating, draining, irritating and at times can make you ill. The only people who like problems in the marriage are divorce lawyers and people who like to gossip.
So why do I think it's so important that you deal with your marriage problems starting today? I'll get to that a little later.
I have listed a few questions for you to think about regarding your marriage problems.
1. If you could remarry your spouse would you do it all over again?
2. Did your spouse change or have your expectations that he or she would change not happened as you envisioned?
3. Are there outside influences such as family or friends that if removed, could help end some of your marriage problems?
4. What would make you happy again?
Marriage problems can be solved in a number of ways. A good place to start is figuring out why and how and what happened or needs to happen to improve your marriage. Asking key questions like the ones listed above will help get you on the road to resolving your marital issues.
You probably have the answer to solve all of the problems in your marriage right in your head but often times knowing what to do doesn't always translate into taking action.
Why is it so important to start resolving your marriage problems starting today? Because you have no idea what is going to happen tomorrow. So many times couples are blindsided by a divorce or separation request. Could you or your spouse be taking any of these actions tomorrow?
Flirting with an admirer or starting an affair
Meeting with a divorce attorney
Packing up the kids, a few items and heading to parent's home
I can't tell you how many couples say if only my spouse had given me a sign or some hope that the problems in our marriage would be resolved I would have stayed or wouldn't have had the affair.
Don't leave the fate or your marriage problems to "what if". I would hate for you to have your marriage obstacles lead to a divorce just because you delayed taking action. It's easy to sit back and wait for your spouse to make the first moves but that move could be a move that you regret.
