How to Save a Marriage

Are you in a marriage that is making you unhappy or that is just not working? We all know that over half of first marriages end in divorce, but many more linger on with one or both people unhappy and unfilled. You can save a relationship that seems to be slipping away. But how many of us were ever given any education to do that? Mostly we all just try to figure it out on our own or we enter counseling.

Before I tell you about the great resource that you can access today to save your troubled marriage, let's think about what makes a relationship work. Maybe you got married young or in the heat of the early stage of a relationship. You'll remember how much you needed and wanted each other then. That's the physical aspect of a relationship. There are three other key aspects to a relationship:
- emotional
- mental
- spiritual
If you don't match well across all four aspects, or dimensions, of your relationship then you might find yourself unfilled or in conflict as time goes on.

Each person in a marriage changes over time. We all change along the four dimensions mentioned above. When one person begins to grow and change along one or more dimensions over time, he or she may be either strengthening their need and bond to the other person or moving away from the other person in the marriage. So often as each person in a marriage grows and changes over time, they are moving away from their partner. It can happen slowly, and almost be unnoticed. But those changes begin to be felt, little by little, and can lead to growing dissatisfaction and unmet need. Couples need to know how to address the changes they each feel as the marriage matures. There are other people who have worked on this very issue and developed guides and tools for success to help you.


Don't let a marriage slip away simply because you never learned how to deal with this part of marriage. Your marriage and your partner are vitally important to your health and happiness. A good marriage should be saved. Both people will be strengthened and bettered in the long run by making a marriage work well for both people.

You can save your marriage, even if you feel at your wits end and can't think what more you could possibly do. If your marriage is important to you, and you want to make the effort to save your marriage, consult the Resource Guide that I've provided the link to here: http://www.save-my-marriage.5x1.net

A recent testimonial from someone who made use of this guidance, "My heart has healed and I am back to my old self... we are so much happier now, God bless!" -- Pauline Thomas, Charleston, SC. You can recover this happiness too... it's not too late.
