Save The Marriage – You Got To Believe!

You need to understand that when you strive to save the marriage there must be the believe that you will do just that. If you don’t have that believe within yourself then whatever effort you put into the rescue mission will be half hearted and without any real commitment.

You need to believe that it is possible to save your marriage. Very important and quite simply if you believe, it will show in your sincerity and efforts to rescue the marriage. And this believe will be contagious and rub off on your spouse.

If you got this believe then the first thing you must ask yourself is if your marriage suffer from a lack of intimacy. And here you must look past physical intimacy and explore emotional intimacy between you and your spouse. This ingredient is normally where marriage troubles start.

The important questions to ask is:

1. Is there transparency in the marriage? Is there situations where you do not share and include your spouse but rather exclude them when it comes to your emotions. By dealing with things on your own and excluding your spouse you invite trouble. You must aim to share and include your spouse when it comes to your emotional needs.

2. Do your spouse know what bothers you? You need to share with your spouse your problems and worries. Your spouse knows if something bothers you and by not sharing the things which worries you you will create a situation where your spouse will begin to feel shut out and hurt.

And it also opens the door for your spouse to stop sharing with you and soon both of you will be in the dark about each others feelings and problems. If this happens you will not be able to support each other when you need each other the most. This will only create a chasm between you and your spouse which may with time be to wide to bridge.

3. Do I make enough time for my spouse? We all live in a time where there is so much things which demands our attention and steals away our time that we sometimes forget to spare some of our time for our spouse. You need to make some time for your spouse before you come to a stage in the marriage where it is to late to salvage it.

What you can do is include your spouse into your schedule by taking a afternoon or day off and surprise them with activities where you two have some fun and time just for yourself and without all the distractions of your everyday life. This they will appreciate.

To save the marriage it is important to have strong emotional intimacy with your spouse where they feel treasured and important to you. Do not let your marriage drive on auto-pilot but take the time and give the effort to build a strong intimate relationship consistently and by doing this your marriage will thrive and withstand anything.
