Does Your Marriage Need To Be Rescued?
I'm making this page about Marriage Rescue because I believe in marriage. I think it has the potential to be one of the most fulfilling relationships one can experience.
Unfortunately, many people are not feeling fulfilled by their marriage relationship. In fact, some may find that their marriage is causing so much pain and sadness that they are afraid they are just not going to make it.
If that is you, or if you just feel that you need some help to make your marriage the best it could be, please read on.

Get to Know Each Other
I realize it sounds funny to work at getting to know someone you are already married to, but many couples don't know the really important things about each other. "An estimated 83% of divorces would not take place is couples asked each other the right questions," says Michael Webb, a renowned relationship expert with a best-selling book. He has appeared on Oprah and has published articles in such magazines as "Men's Health", "Cosmopolitan", and "Modern Bride". Michael has written an amazing ebook on this subject called
1000 Questions For Couples. (This also comes with a bonus book called "101 Romantic Ideas")
If you really know and understand your partner then you can see an issue from their perspective. This can make a huge difference in resolving a conflict. We have to make a conscious effort to think of things from their point-of-view and to consider how they feel.
Every marriage goes through difficult times. The key is to build a strong foundation and to be able to have helpful strategies in place.
So, when the storms come you have the tools to weather them together. And maybe your relationship will even come out stronger.
Rekindle the Romance
Over time married couples can let intimacy become less of a priority. In the beginning everything is new and exciting. We can't wait to be together, we can't imagine anything becoming more important than each other. But gradually we allow other things in life to take more and more attention and we give each other our left-over time. Who gets excited about left-overs?So, make intimacy with your partner a priority. It will take some effort and some reorganizing and maybe you don't even feel like doing it right now. Maybe you don't feel as attracted to your spouse as you used to. Or maybe you don't believe it will be worth the effort. If you decide to commit to this it may make all the difference. Just try it.
One of the most powerful ways to rekindle your romance is to put a spark back into your lovemaking. I found that Michael Webb has some excellent ideas of how to do this in his ebook 500 Lovemaking Tips and Secrets. (This includes 4 bonuses including "How to Give Your Partner Great Massages".)
Don%u2019t Give Up
Maybe you feel that your marriage is beyond help. Make sure that you have done everything within your power to save it. Maybe you are the one who wants to work on it and your spouse is not cooperative. (Of course if abuse is involved then you need to contact the authorities and you do not have to feel obligated to do whatever it takes to repair the marriage. Your safety is the highest priority.)Remember that your marriage involves two individuals who each carry their own baggage. You need to work on yourself as much as your spouse need to work on themselves and you may need counseling in order to do the really deep repair.
If you are at the point where you need to win your husband back I would highly recommend Michael Webb's ebook Getting Him Back, which includes the bonus ebook "How to Save Your Marriage Starting Immediately."
I know I have recommended nothing but Michael Webb books but he really has fantastic ideas about both rekindling relationships and also adding more joy, passion, and fun to them. If you are looking for his whole collection (of 16 relationship changing books) it is called The Happily Ever After Collection. You absolutely are not going to find this quality of information in any other collection available.
So, get to know your spouse again, rekindle the romance, and don't give up.
This is an investment of your time and energy that will pay you (and everyone who loves you) for years to come.
