You must be wondering how to save your marriage.
Remember back on your wedding day, your heart beating, your hands sweating, overcome with a flood of emotion, you stand and look at the most beautiful person in the world.
You say 'I do'.
You kiss, and a rush of feelings like you've never felt before runs through your body.
This is happiness.
I have made it.
I have found my 'happily ever after.
'Right? Well, I think we both know now that it's not that easy.
Not by a long shot.
Marriage wasn't made to be easy.
How to save your marriage isn't a easy either.
My wife and I were in heaven for the first few months.
Nothing mattered but each other.
This was it.
Bliss.
But then life caught up with us, and the dream started to fade away.
Little by little our marriage became stale.
We were both tired coming home from work.
We were stressed.
The illusion was drifting away.
Now let me say we had it all- the house, two cars, good neighborhood, even a dog called Misty.
But we took each other for granted and became pieces of furniture in each other's life.
Thankfully I went online and typed 'how to save my marriage' into Google.
I did it before it was too late.
Many of my friends were not that lucky.
I read everything I could, because I was stuck in this marriage, I felt trapped, the feelings I had for the person I shared my bed with were gone.
Boredom, indifference slowly turning to annoyance and even hatred.
Times like these are a blessing.
They force you to look at yourself honestly.
They force you to take action.
And this is required, believe me.
Ask yourself why you want to stay in your marriage, why you want to stay with your partner, what you want from life.
This may be hard, but you will thank yourself later.
Now you have a better perspective on things.
Because the main reason a marriage fails is a lack of perspective.
Day in, day out you see the same person, the person you are supposed to spend the rest of your life with.
Naturally you take your partner for granted.
Now identify what issues you have with your partner, your marriage, your life that are making you unhappy.
Write them down.
This honesty with yourself is the best first step to save your marriage you'll ever take.
If you are lucky enough to feel comfortable communicating openly with your partner, get him or her to do the same.
Once you've done this, you can continue on your way on how to save your marriage today.
Without this step, all the tips and tricks you may read about will not only be ineffective, but may backfire.
Be honest with yourself and identify the situation.
