When your marriage is in trouble, you often look to your partner as the cause. In reality, couples should take a hard look at the relationship fundamentals when trying to figure out how to save marriage. If you’re struggling with the basics of being a couple, problems tend to intensify over time, and this can cause the type of marriage crisis that leads to thoughts or talk of divorce.

Communication is one of the biggest relationship fundamentals. Open, honest communication is a cornerstone of a strong relationship. When a couple talks about everything, without hesitation, fear, or put-downs, it brings them closer together, and they tend to go through life dealing with everything as a team. When one or both partners starts holding back, it eventually leads to resentment and stress as well as causing a rift between the partners.

Most importantly, when your partner talks, listen. Often they don’t need advice or answers — they just need a caring ear. It takes practice to listen without letting our ego step in to inject our own spin, but in order to build up your partner’s self-worth, you need to validate their opinion by just listening.

Great communication between spouses also addresses needs. If you have a need that’s not being met and you keep it to yourself, it can often lead to resentment and anger. They key is to let your spouse know what you need without it turning into an attack. The focus should be on you and your feelings. As long as they don’t feel the need to get defensive, your spouse will likely be all to happy to talk about your needs. At the same time, ask if they have any needs that aren’t being met. This way you’re working together to meet each other’s needs.

Finally, good communication can help resolve disputes. There are disagreements in any relationship. It’s important to remain calm and rational — when the volume starts increasing, it’s time to take a step back and try to figure out why. I prefer to call these situations negotiations. It helps put both people in the right frame of mind to work through the conflict. Remember, marriage is a give-and-take. It’s important to give as much as you take — if not more.

Once you begin working on improving your communication, you’ll be on the way to save a marriage.
