Saying Yes to Saving Your Marriage

But years later we now have the husband, the house, the kids and maybe a family dog. Life gets in the way of our marriage and the wedding day of bliss is a far away memory. The vows we took so many years ago is something we begin to take for granted. All those quirky adorable things that our husband did that made our hearts jump a beat now make us cringe when he walks in the room. How did we get so far away from our perfect marriage? Now we realize that those hours of planning our wedding will do nothing now to save our marriage. What is a girl to do?

We are too tired to plan a date night to help in saving our marriage process. We realize that we are guilty of not investing in our marriage. But how do we stop the divorce thoughts that are creeping into our minds? It is a shame that years ago trying to get married was more important then than trying to save our marriage now. If only the investment of time in our marriage was greater.

If you have let your marriage get to the status of a "troubled marriage" don't give up hope. Take the 1st step and acknowledge to yourself and your spouse that there is a problem and you want to work to fix it. Recognize with each other that saving your marriage is now the most important thing that you want to do. Start with spending time with each other. Remember the good things about each other that brought you together. I am sure that your relationship can be saved by focusing on the good and not so much on the bad.

And if you decide you can't do it alone then invest in some type of marriage counseling. Start with a book that you can both read and discuss. And if your problems are bigger than the two of your then get in touch with a marriage counsler. Sometimes it is extremely helpful to have a third party involved to give an objective view. But most of all plan and save your marriage together. Save your marriage like your planned your wedding!
