Congratulations on taking your first step towards saving your marriage. Clearly, you are willing put in the necessary effort. It appears you realized there was a need for a change and luckily, you did. Unfortunately, a majority do not realize until it is too late. Let's start now on ways to go about to save a marriage.

Have a sit down with your spouse. Plan to have a conversation with them when it is convenient for you both. Concentrate on communicating effectively with them.

Listen to them, as you would want them to listen to you. This is crucial. If you do not show them that you care about what they have to say, then why should they care about what you say? Ok, so I'm glad we understand each other. While they are talking, do not interrupt them, even if you do not agree with something they are saying. You will have your turn after they are finished saying what they have to say. If you don't listen to them, then you are never going to have an understanding to what the problem is.

Secondly, share openly with them. Tell them all your fears, misgiving, troubles, or anything else along those lines. Do not make it seem as you are complaining though, since they will not want to listen to that. Make sure also, not to criticize everything thing they had said. If you do this there will only be a brick wall set up for the next time that you wish to speak with them.

Make some plans to do some of the same things together as you used to. Surprise them with a gift or make their favorite meal, these are just a few of the little things that you might have done for them in the past and no longer do. Well, we tend to forget how much it means to the other person and they sometimes may take it, as we do not care.

Keep living togetherIf you are not separated, don't head in that direction. There are a small percentage of separations, which result with the spouses back together again. The number of divorces is even higher. Living a part, often serves as an escape to dealing with the problems. Yes, it does help some however statistics show otherwise. If separated you may want to consider consulting other information and someone to talk to.

I cannot stress enough how much easier things will be if the two of you live together. Of course, this does not apply to everyone. There are cases where the relationship is not repairing. In any case, of risk to your safety or anything along those lines, separation and more would be a smart option. If the relationship appears, one that salvageable, then separation may do more harm than good, but it all depends and there are varying opinions corresponding to separation and ways to save a marriage.

Therapy should always be a consideration. The negative stigmatization once attached no longer remains as once before. Individual therapy offers you a place to go and vent your frustrations. Just think of it as a helpful ear lend. If you can get your spouse to go to marriage counseling then this, I strongly recommend. Marriage therapy offers a place for the two of you to go and speak with each other in a healthy manner. Even those without major difficulties have found marriage therapy beneficial.

As everyone learns after the honeymoon phase of their marriage, it requires a lot of work from both people involved. Some are shocked after finding this out and this goes beyond their initial expectations, resulting in the end of the marriage. There are problems in any relationship and whether each within the relationship decide to face up to them together. The most important way to save a marriage is communication between both partners.
