Everyone has problems these days. Since marriage began, there have been difficulties in marriage. With the stresses and strains of today’s lifestyles, it is little wonder that there are arguments and marriage problems. You may even wonder can my marriage be saved?
One would have thought that with difficulties and marriage problems we should be good at sorting them out by now, but we are not really taught the skills to do so. However, you can save your marriage. Things are made more difficult because two people will bring their own emotional baggage to a marriage, so along with the usual problems there are the persons own individual problems also.
Taking all this into consideration, you may be wondering why marriage hasn’t died out years ago. But some people have had and continue to have really successful marriages. So, how can we sort things out, what do we need to do so we can save your marriage? You want to be one of the couples with the successful marriages!
It strikes me that there is a certain pattern that couples get into and it goes like this:
* No-one has enough time
* No-one has enough money
* Because everyone is trying to make more time and more money
* One partner feels unheard and frustrated
* The other partner feels unappreciated and hurt
* Therefore arguments start
Both partners feel unhappy and argue about their lot in the marriage without constructively changing things.
If you recognise this pattern from your marriage, you will be pleased to know that you break the cycle, and save your marriage. You need to first of all stop and make some time to talk to your partner. You could explain this cycle to them and let them know it goes on. They may agree to change things to solve marriage problems; and that would be great, but even if they don’t you can change things yourself.
You can find other ways to explain how you feel without arguing. Write a letter, send a card, write an email – these are all ways to communicate with your partner about your feelings, and about marriage problems, without having arguments.
By trying these things to communicate, your partner will be more ready to listen when you want to sit them down for a discussion. When you can communicate with them you need to explain how you feel. Have some possible solutions ready when you start chatting. Talk in a non aggressive way, using words like “I feel” rather than “You should”.
Find some strategies that help you work together as a team. You need to feel like you are both pulling in the same direction to sort out difficulties and marriage problems, which in turn will help you appreciate one another’s efforts. This has the effect of building up your marriage, rather than tearing it down. The more you build up your marriage, the less you will have to save your marriage.
