Rescue Your Marriage - Make a Commitment to Avoid Divorce
It's your marriage, and you think it might be in trouble....so it's up to you to see what you can do to save it. Let me share some ideas to get you started down the right path to help end your relationship troubles and rescue your marriage.
There is one resource in particular that I think is EXCELLENT! It is called The Secret of Marriage >.
But before we get started, the question must be asked: Are you willing to put forth the effort it will take to help your marriage? The reason I ask is because it's not an easy task that lies ahead of you. Hurt feelings and conflict can be hard to resolve, and pride is something that not only has to be overcome, but all has to be let go of. Are you ready to really work at rescuing your marriage?
Rescue Your Marriage- Know the Signs That Your Marriage Needs Help:
No marriage is perfect, but some things are warning signs of trouble.
If you are worried about Saving Your Marriage, you have obviously been experiencing difficulties in your relationship that are causing significant stress and tension. I am not talking about the occasional lack of communication, but an ongoing problem of it. You feel it in your gut. Your instincts are telling you that something is off. Here are some of those signs.Some of the most common signs of a marriage in trouble include:
1. A conflict that seems too big to be resolved. Or you fight constantly
2. Lack of communication anymore. You are isolated from one another.
3. A lack of physical, as well as emotional intimacy. You've become roommates.
4. All conflict has simply ceased, without being resolved. A form of indifference.
5. Isolating yourself from each other. Doing things alone. You live separate lives.
6. Lying to one another with no remorse. Indifference has set in.
7. Constant negativity towards each other and everything that goes on.
8. You have contemplated getting a divorce.
A healthy marriage will always have it's share of conflict as there is no perfect marriage. But one that has all of these signs apparent is one that is in need of rescuing. Your partner may not care enough anymore to even try, but you still can. You must start today,even if you are the only one who feels like working to save the marriage. You can find the answers you need to Rescue Your Marriage. There is help, and hope.
I also talk more in depth about these specific ways to save you marriage in my other lenses.
Rescue Your Marriage - Commit To Working On Making It Better

Because you recognize that there is indeed a problem in your marriage, all you need to do now is to get to work right away. Here is a brief list, but information from a trained marriage counselor will be invaluable in really giving you the help and insight you need to make lasting and permanent changes.
1. Renew your Commitment to Stay Married.
Remember your wedding day and the vows you made...those were a commitment to each other through all kinds of situations. Remember those promises. Take divorce off the table. Choose to not consider it an option.
2. Decide to act lovingly towards your spouse, even if you do not feel like it. Ouch! Okay so this is the hardest thing to do, but if you want them to act lovingly towards you, you must be willing to show them love, in spite of everything.
3. Open the doors for communication and take time to listen to your spouse. Start with small talk and work your way up. If you have implemented the #1 idea, of acting more lovingly towards your partner, then this will come more easily than it had before. Not only will they be more willing to talk to you, but also you will be more interested in what they have to say. READ MORE BELOW
4. Stop complaining and start complimenting. This must be a conscious decision to only let positive remarks escape your lips. You must work to "catch" them doing good things. It will seem hard at first, but the more you do it, the more naturally it will come, and you will find them starting to reciprocate the comments.
5. Focus on the positive. This is a perspective change and comes with acting lovingly towards them in spite of how you are feeling.
6. Be willing to forgive. Nobody is perfect and holding on to your anger only makes you angrier. Justice does not always need to be served, but mercy and compassion can always be given.
7. Be willing to compromise. You are not always right. If you think you are, that is just proof that you are not. It takes two to fight. One person is responsible for the behavior that starts a fight, but the other person is responsible for the reaction to that behavior. It always takes two people.
8. Have more fun together. You used to enjoy each other's company. You were drawn to one another. What was it like then? What did you do? Try that again.
9. Seek help from a trained Marriage Counselor. Sometimes you need a third party to help you get a clear perspective of what is really going on. Do not be afraid to get help. It is a smart thing to do, not a wimpy thing to do.
This is just a small and basic list but you can find a more detailed explanation in my other lenses on the same topic. Just visit the featured lens's section below.

4. Do you find yourself having the same issues over and over, unable to break out of the painful patterns?
5. Or are you trying to make sure you have the best information to keep your marriage on-track?

Rescue Your Marriage with Good Communication Skills
This is A Good Place To Start
Are you and your spouse great communicators? If you're thinking "Not even close..." take heart! Communication skills are easy to learn and to put into practice.Here are some insights from Dr. Greg Smalley:
Good communication begins with good listening.
He outlines the four foundations of good communication:
1. Listening - By listening to your spouse, you communicate that they are a person of worth and what they say is important.
2. Understanding - You may have to paraphrase back to your spouse what you hear them saying so that you clearly understand what has been said: "What I just heard you say was%u2026"
3. Validating - Then your spouse can verify or correct until he is saying and you are hearing exactly what he means. You can affirm your spouse by understanding what is communicated and validating the communication.
4. Responding - At this point, you can decide how to respond to what your spouse has said.
This is just a brief sample of what you will learn in the Unlocking The Secrets of Marriage course, but a very effective way to make positive changes in your communication style.
Bad communication can destroy a marriage. Instead,
- Replace accusations with attempts at understanding,
- Replace talking with listening,
- Replace defensiveness with openness, and
- Replace silence with sharing,
...you'll be amazed at the difference it makes in your marriage.
Marriage is Good For Your Cognitive Health Later In Life
Researchers found that people living alone from midlife on were almost three times as likely to develop some level of cognitive impairment, compared to those who were living with a partner. And widows or widowers at midlife who did not remarry had the highest increased risk of any cognitive impairment later in life.
