What do I do to save my marriage? There aren't too many marriages, where at some stage or another, one of the parties asked themselves that exact same question.
If you are having difficulties at the moment, I know how you feel.
I have been in that position before and it is an awful situation.
The most important thing to realise is that you can save your marriage if you approach this in a mature and sensible way.
Too often, marriages come unstuck because one of the parties acts before they think and does or says something that puts a permanent wedge in the relationship.
If you are at the stage where you know there is a problem, consider implementing these basic steps:- 1 - Communication is the key to resolving any dispute and unless you and your partner are able to communicate, your marriage will continue to suffer.
Set up a "we need to talk" meeting.
This can be difficult sometimes because one party may not want to talk, but it is essential that you do this for the sake of your marriage.
2 - Each party to discuss what's on their mind.
What is it that is preventing you from enjoying happy times again? Actually list them so they are out in the open.
3 - Put a plan in place to overcome the problems that you identified in step 2.
The three simple steps listed above are a starting point, but if you want to stop asking "what do I do to save my marriage", this is a great way to begin the process.
Life is too short to be engaged in a conflict with someone you once loved.
The way in which you approach the reconciliation process will determine if your marriage can survive.
You loved your partner once and the feeling was obviously mutual.
Wouldn't it be great to be able to say in the years to come, that you saved your marriage by committing to work together, rather than being embroiled in a long and bitter feud?
