subject: How To Save Your Marriage - Tips That Help [print this page] The answer to this question is overwhelmingly Yes, your marriage can be saved! Please do not give up. There are extremely few cases where a marriage really needs to end in divorce.
If you're asking this question then you have come to a point in your marriage relationship where you might be feeling desperation for affection, sad, lonely or depressed. You are not alone, in fact I was there myself a couple of years ago. Knowing you are not alone most likely doesn't make you feel any better, but most all marriages have ups and downs.
I love metaphors, I make use of them plenty while I am teaching due to the fact that it makes you look at your problems in a different way. Think of the stock market. Depending on your age you can more than likely remember when the market has totally tanked. A useful example was in the 90's during the dot.Com crash.
Historically after every stock market crash and I mean every single one, the market always comes back higher than it was previously was (look at Google, Amazon, Ebay, etc.) Now this does not occur overnight but my point is that if you ride it out and keep working on it you'll rescue your marriage and it will be even better than it used to be.
One of the most frequent issues inside a marriage is communication. Life gets busy with work, kids, finances, etc. And gets in the way of relationships.
Before you know it meaningful conversations, sex, or just being together without getting impatient or frustrated are virtually non-existent. If this sounds like where you are sitting at the moment, then the first thing to work on is communication. Meaningful communication will save your marriage. "How can I communicate properly with my partner" Consider seeing a marriage counselor.
Discussing your situation with a marriage counselor isn't a sign of weakness and is not embarrassing. It means that you want to better your situation.
Counseling, just like my metaphor above, allows a professional counselor to take a look at your relationship in a different way and attempt to improve your communication skills. If you and your mate do this, you will be taking a big step in reinvigorating your marriage.
The fact that you are reading this article means that you want your marriage to work. Whatever you do just do not give up.
It can get better, I am living proof. If you stick it out and keep working on it, you can save your marriage today.
