First, take a deep breath.

The place you’re at is one of the toughest to be in during a marriage. You are angry. You are hurt. You feel betrayed. You know that something has to change.

You are absolutely right. Something does have to change.

Either you (or you and your spouse) have to work to rebuild the trust in your relationship, or you need to take decisive action to end the marriage. As painful as it is, those are the only two real options. Sure, some think that they can simply forgive and forget, but with a wound this deep, that’s just not realistic. Infidelity is way too big of a problem to ignore or simply sweep under a rug. It will not go away on its own. Read the rest of this entry

failure to communicate 300x228 Communication Really is the Key to Saving a Marriage (or Keeping Yours Strong)
I have come to believe that great communication or the lack of it is one of the most important factors in whether or not a marriage will survive and even in saving a marriage. Yes, trust is also at the top of the list, however, over and over I’ve seen where trust is broken after communication starts breaking down. Let me give you a real-world scenario:

Mary loves her new husband, Bob, with all her heart. Yes, it bothers her a little bit when Bob drops his dirty socks on the bedroom floor, but she doesn’t say anything — she doesn’t want something insignificant to cause a rift in their otherwise great relationship.

Many people wonder how to save marriage from a crisis. It’s not the easiest thing in the world to do but it can be done. Of course, you should be able to differentiate between good advice and really bad advice. You should make sure not to listen to all of the old wives’s tales that many people still believe in today. In this article we will cover a few troublesome mistakes that people will make when trying to save their marriage.

Misconception Number 1: When a person is biding their time and sitting around expecting the worst instead of getting up and going for it. Many people think that if they wait long enough, that the situation will eventually get better. You know as well as anyone else that you are just fooling yourself. You have to take charge and actually do something to save your marriage. Don’t just sit around, go for what you want and don’t hold back!

Misconception Number 2: Don’t lead the person on. If it is over, state this clearly and make the scenario very clear to the spouse. If there is no love left, just say so. Make the break clean and clear, it will hurt but it is better for everyone involved in the long run.

Misconception Number 3: Don’t make the mistake of thinking that every solution is cut and dried. This is the blunder that puts the axe in many marriages. If you are sure that there is a marriage to save then you have to be sure that you try everything in order to save it. Try to avoid making the mistake of thinking that all marriages are the same because they are not, every one is unique in it’s own way and therefore requires a unique solution to save it. There is no formula which can be used to determine if a marriage should be saved – even an affair can be overcome if you have the will and desire.

If you are positively sure of how you feel and you know that you want to be with this person and work things out then you should try as hard as you can to make it work. There will be sacrifices on both parts but as stated, it will be worth it in the long run. You’ll just have to take active steps in determining how to save marriage to make sure you don’t make any lasting mistakes.
