When you want to learn how to save a broken marriage, you have to stop hiding from the problems.
Human nature makes us want to avoid painful situations, and we tend to turn away from problems.
You simply can't do that when you want to save your marriage.
The love that was there when you got married is still there - in both of you.
At this point in your marriage, however, that love may seem nonexistent.
When marital issues pop up, anger and resentment take the place of the love and joy that we once felt.
In many marriages, both partners have to go to work, outside of the home.
This leaves little time to spend with each other.
Besides work, your have to make time for family, friends, and kids.
This leaves less time to spend with each other.
Your spouse should be your top priority.
You should both remember this.
When you keep each other at the top of your list, your marriage will be much happier.
All too often, your spouse somehow gets to the bottom of your list of priorities.
This only makes marriage harder.
When a spouse feels unloved, or like they have taken a back burner to the other things in their partner's life, it will lead to even more marital problems.
When your marriage has reached this point, sex is probably out of the question.
this is another crucial mistake - you absolutely HAVE to keep the intimacy in your marriage! Emotional togetherness is important, but people need physical togetherness.
Start with something small, like holding hands or a hug.
That may sound silly, but it connects the two of you in a physical way.
The more you do these small things, the closer you will get, and the intimacy will slowly come back into your marriage.
When you rekindle some of that intimacy, you will start to see your marriage come back to life.
never assume what your partner is thinking or doing.
When you assume something, you will probably only come up with bad things.
You are not a mind reader, and neither is your spouse.
Talk to each other.
Ask your spouse what is bothering them, and tell them what is bothering you.
Your spouse is your best friend - for life.
Even though things aren't as good as they should be right now, they could be much worse.
When you take small steps to save your broken marriage, you will see your marriage improve.
