It's truly sad how the rate of divorce has gone up in the last decade.
Over 2 million couples get divorced each year and some of these, like celebrity divorces, receive a great deal of media attention.
Making your marriage work will not always be an easy task but divorce should never be thought of as the solution.
Misunderstandings between married couples are normal once in a while.
When you're married, everyday is a new day to discover new things about your partner.
Unfortunately, you might not like some of these things but understand that you made a promise to love and cherish each other, no matter what.
There are no differences that are too big or too difficult to work through if both of you are willing to try.
Marriages require a lot of effort in order to make it work.
Fights are typical to every relationship and marriages are no exception.
Wait for the high tempers to subside before bringing up the cause of the fight.
Getting into an argument when the both of you are angry will not do any good.
If your marriage is in deep trouble, then here are some things that you should remember in order to try to save it (and yes, it is possible to manage this in just one week): 1.
Avoid asking questions that will invoke a negative response.
Don't ask questions that would put your partner on the defensive.
It is human nature to want to avoid people who make you feel negatively about yourself, so don't let it get to the point that your spouse would want to avoid you because of this.
2.
Love your partner unconditionally.
Shower your spouse with boundless love and affection at all times.
This is the point of marrying someone, isn't it? If you have issues, work through them and then let it go.
Don't hold grudges or keep track of the previous mistakes that your spouse has done.
3.
Be honest, true, and faithful - always.
Trust is very important in a marriage.
In fact, it is the very basis on which your relationship should be founded on.
Remember that the truth will always find a way to come out, no matter how hard to try to hide it.
4.
Avoid relationship killers.
These are things that you can do to eventually wear out your spouse and ruin your relationship.
Do not nag and do not consistently criticize your partner.
Learn to swallow your pride and control your temper as best as you can.
Marriage is a two-way street.
Keep these things in mind and it may be possible for you to save your marriage in one week.
This process won't be easy, but remember the vows that the both of you made and honor them.
Just have some faith and be optimistic; your problems can and will be worked out.
