Saving Your Marriage Against All Odds

By Jesse Lopez


It's no news that the rate of marriage breakup is on the rise. A lot of varying opinions have been given regarding the reason for this occurrence. Have you ever wondered at the fact that these statistics are developed from the experiences of others? It does not mean that's what should happen to yours. You can make yours different.

There are marriages that have stayed a longtime. Would you be under the illusion that they encountered no issues? None of them has been spared from encountering challenges. It's very possible that a couple of them encountered really major problems. What made their marriage last for this long? Commitment!

Regarding the issue of saving your marriage, this is a venture that would demand total commitment. When you're resolved, you can then do all you would need to do.

Extramarital affairs have put some marriages on the verge of collapse. For many folks, when this happens, the relationship has gone beyond repair.

You can truly learn how to survive an affair. I have heard of marriages that got over the challenge of an affair and are now even stronger. It involves a very demanding process though. To actually attempt this, your commitment to saving your marriage can't for one moment be shaky.

We wouldn't be going very in-depth in this article. We would nevertheless attempt to raise some questions that you may want to ask yourself. We believe that by facing a few of the questions, we would have some clarity.

The issue of an affair would usually raise two thoughts in the other partner. The hurt the partner feels is really caused by the sense of betrayal. Next, a bit of self doubt creeps in. A lot of spouses due to this just want to see the person involved with their spouse in the affair.

It's actually as if they want to know how the other person is better than them. This can cause a drop in self confidence. Before even attempting to work on your marriage or forgive your partner, this self confidence has to be rebuilt.

How do we go about restoring your self confidence?

Before you can even start anything, you have to ask yourself if you want the marriage restored. You wouldn't make any progress unless your mind is focused on restoring your marriage.

The process now truly starts with you trying to discover the root cause of the affair. A lot of times, when a spouse doesn't get the attention they need at home, they look for it outside. You may find out that your partner only responded to a need you weren't around to meet.

Your confidence may be given a boost if you find out that you can actually give your partner all they desire. Please, I have to say here that nothing justifies infidelity. The purpose of what you're doing is to eventually salvage your marriage.

Your next assignment is to stop blaming yourself and forgive yourself for your failings. You cannot forgive your partner unless you forgive yourself. When you're through with these, the hard work of rebuilding trust can commence.

Going through this process would surely not be as easy as it is to write it. If you always remind yourself that you can rebuild your marriage, you would find the strength you require. Once again, is saving your marriage a concern for you?
