Save Your Marriage Even if You Think Its Too Late

By Lu Gardner


Every time a couple makes the commitment of marriage, they are telling the other that they will be their partner for ever, and that they will always be there to support each other in good and bad times. The commitment of marriage is a legally recognized agreement.

The couple gives each other a lifetime commitment of support and they do what ever they need to do to protect each other.

It is too bad that even healthy relationship turn ugly when the parties involved fail to recognize the commitments that were made on their wedding day.

Problems that can arise in a marriage are many. Just a few of the problems can be: Losing interest in a spouse, a loss of understanding of one another, a lost of trust, spending too much time with friends or other family, financial problems or substance abuse. The number of potential problems in a relationship are many.

In determining problem areas in a marriage, one must admit that sometimes their spouse is right and you must stand down in order to let your spouse sometimes win an argument, even though you KNOW you are right. It is okay to step back for the sake of your relationship.

Look back through time and try to figure out when the relationship started to go bad. When was the last real happy moment in your relationship? Try to remember what happened after that, and what you can do to get back to that point in time. To find answers, you must ask questions. Ask yourself; "How To" questions...how to make my spouse more happy? How to save my marriage? When you can answer questions such as these, only then can you start to mend your relationship.

Seeking answers to these types of questions is the first step in repairing the marriage. These will be the first steps and they show that you are interested in working on your marriage.

Sometimes you may be faced with the question if your marriage really is worth saving. Try to go back to your wedding day, and how happy everyone once was. You can return to those feelings again.

Do not think that it is too late to restore the happiness in your marriage. Even when things don't look so good for the relationship, just remember that it is never too late. Many couples are looking into Online Marriage Counseling for help with their relationships, and having great success.

Take a stance and talk to your spouse. Let them know how much you are committed to the marriage and how much you want to make it work. When your spouse realizes your commitment, they too may have the desire to make it work. Ask your spouse for help and direction - let them know that they can help you to know what things to say, or not to say. When working together, it is amazing how much progress can be made in a short period of time.
