subject: Do You Want To Save Your Marriage? Maybe It's Time To Think Again [print this page] Do you want to save your marriage? No, really, are you serious about getting things back on track or are you being pressured into it by friends and family because it suits them?
Yes, these are tough questions and this article is about helping you take the right action to save your marriage. But the truth is, if deep down you know it's doomed to failure then why would you want to keep propping up a sinking ship?
On the other hand, if you're convinced it's worth saving but your partner is a little skeptical then you definitely have some work to do but it's a situation which can be conquered with some positive action. Having two people fighting for the same cause means that the chances of a successful outcome are strong.
Here's what you need to do to save your marriage. These are good tips on their own but in unison can really have positive effects. They apply to both you and your partner.
- Project yourself five years into the future and ask yourself whether this is the person you want to be with. If the answer is no or even confusing then you must resolve any issues here and now before you move on.
- If you are the most committed to this task then it's up to you to do the most changing. That's if you really want this marriage to survive and flourish again.
- Look at your personal habits. Analyze them and ask yourself questions such as if I was the other person would some of my habits be irritating? You'll be surprised at the responses here, even shocked but this is something that needs to be done and crucial to the overall outcome.
- Communication is vital. Yes it's something you know you need to be doing but it always bears repeating. You will need to get to know him/her again and that will mean taking an interest in what they like and do even if it's not really your "cup of tea."
- Sitting down with a therapist or counselor for several sessions is also a must if you want to save your marriage. Now while either of you may not think it is necessary the truth is, a third opinion will spot things about your relationship you won't see. They will have the ability to open up to each other with a particular line of questioning.
