If you are married, then the last thing you want is a divorce. When two people wed, it is because they love each other, and the wish is for that love to remain fresh forever. While this doesn't always happen, there are a few ways that you can stop your divorce, and there are more than a few reasons why you might want to stop your divorce from happening.

The biggest thing that you would need to consider are the children. You might not have any, but if you do, then you should take into account that the children are just innocent bystanders in all of this. We don't mean to sound harsh here, but honestly, you need to think about the children long before you think about yourself. Sure you can go for joint custody, but then you would deal with the children leaving for the weekend, or every other weekend, holidays at another house, etc. It all becomes very confusing and can even be damaging for a child. Let's not even go into the custody battle that will inevitable take place afterwards. That being said, you should do everything you can to stop your divorce.

If you want to stop your divorce, then you need to consider the three normal contributors to a divorce. The first major one is communication. You would think that love does not require communication, but not everyone can speak with their heart, sad to say. If you think that communication might be the issue, then you need to start listening to your partner, and they need to start listening to you.

You should set aside certain times during the week where the two of you will sit down and discuss the things that are happening in the relationship. Even if you don't think communication is a problem, this still needs to be done, and working on it could very well stop your divorce. Though communication is a huge issue in any relationship, it can be overshadowed easily by unfaithfulness.

If you suspect that your partner is being unfaithful, then it would be best to sit down and talk about it. If you think that you are being unfaithful, then you must do the same thing. They say that honesty is the best policy and if you've made a mistake you must own up to it. There are those that say a marriage cannot be saved after one individual cheats, but it really depends on how willing the two of you are to forgive.

The final element is family. There was once someone who said: "I never felt it was between her and I, but more between her father and I." Family can often get in the way, and even if they have the best intentions they can cause serious problems for both parties. Problems within the marriage or even the most basic issues need to be worked out among those who are actually in the marriage.

If you want to stop your divorce, you will need to put some effort forth, but so long as you do, you should be able to save your marriage. It's not going to be easy, but in all honesty, nothing that is worth doing has ever been easy. So buckle down, get to work, and stop your divorce!
