The sad fact is that too many marriages lose their spark and end in divorce. Most people want the marriage to survive hard times. They ask: “Can I save my marriage?”

If at least one partner starts the process, most marriages can be saved. And unless there’s physical abuse involved, most should.  Here are some things to consider to help you decide if your marriage is one of the ones that can be saved.  One factor to consider is are you willing to change? This is not to say that you partner is right and you need to agree with them, but it does mean that you need to be willing to try different approaches. What you’re doing now isn’t working. If you want things to be different you’re going to need to do something differently.

For example, some people show their disapproval by an outburst of anger followed by a sullen withdrawal. There are many more elegant ways to deal with such situations that will be better for the relationship in the long-term.

Another question is whether you think you’ll be able to forgive, both yourself and your spouse. None of us is perfect and at some point we all need forgiveness. Because of the intensity and personal nature of marriage we are perhaps more vulnerable to hurt from our spouse than from anyone else. It’s important to remember that forgiveness is something we do for ourselves as well as the marriage and it doesn’t mean that inappropriate behavior is tolerated.

Communication skills are also crucial to successful relationships. This doesn’t come naturally to most of us, but fortunately it is a skill we can learn. The page How Can I Save My Marriage shows easy it is for communication to break down. More importantly, when you visit that page you’ll learn an extremely effective technique that you can use to improve communication with your spouse immediately.  You’ll also find many other relationship and marriage saving tips on the site

I hope I’ve encouraged you to continue to work on saving your marriage. Divorce is very rarely the best answer. One positive thing to consider is that many times people grow and develop more through facing challenges than they do when things are easy. There’s every chance that your marriage could be stronger because of the problems you face and overcome.
