It is possible to avoid divorce but, it takes a lot of work, commitment and willingness to save a marriage, even if you feel like you are going to hate every minute of it. If you are not ready to clear the air, what you can do is, sit down with your spouse and discuss. Talk about what each of you want out of the marriage. Make sure there is some positive outcome that you both can live with and enjoy. Ask them if they too are willing to work towards that.
First Step: Deciding To Save The MArriage
Take responsibility for your part in the marriage. Think about your actions and think about how they have hurt or helped the marriage. See where you could have done things differently to make things better.
If you are looking for tips on how to save a marriage, here are some things you can try:
1. Accept responsibility for your role in the marriage.
You may think that your spouse doesn’t notice or doesn’t care about certain things. They might be under stress, on medication, are exhausted, are just plain distracted, etc. Be willing to accept that they are not always going to act the way you want them to. They are also going to be uncharacteristically silly and silly sometimes, so it’s important that you do too.
2. Give a little, request more, just don't ask too much.
You don’t want to request too much of your spouse, they are going to feel neglected and resent that. Instead, you want to request things that make them feel good and make them feel good about themselves.
3. Don't hold grudges.
Remember that if you get control of your emotions, things will run its course and you can move on to the next step. Give your spouse the space they need, to take care of themselves.
4. Talk. Communicate.
About what is bothering you and let your spouse know how they are affecting you. Communicating can be a difficult and emotionally draining thing to do, but if you can figure out how to do it in a way that isn’t threatening, it will be worth it.
How to save your marriage is a complex and delicate subject. It’s a simple truth that many people don’t want to hear is that many marriages can be ruined by just being uncommunicative and not talking to each other. A thing that most people don’t want to admit is that some relationships just don’t have a lot of staying power. You can’t just change back to what you were when things were happy. That is a very selfish thing to believe, but many people do it. Don’t make that mistake. If you want to stay together, you need to figure out how to communicate with each other.
If you follow these four simple steps, you will be able to save your marriage, even if your spouse isn’t interested.
