Many married couples will realize their problems can be easily fixed with one or two changes on their part. Couples who are brave enough to work on their marriages and seek marriage counseling attest to the happiness that communication and an open mind can bring to a relationship. Treat every morning and night you have as if it were your last, tell your spouse whats on your mind and leave NOTHING unsaid
Shower them with compliments. Never ever criticise your partner in public. Boredom during the retirement years can be stressful on both partners in a marriage. Join a senior center in your area
You promised to Love, Honor and Obey for better or worse, in sickness and health, so help you God. There are alternatives to marriage counseling for couples that are experiencing difficulties in their relationship. Whom to Work With. Unfortunately, the only time I hear these excuses given is when one or both partners do not want to put in the work and go in for the marriage counseling they need to start their relationship on a solid foundation. Today, half of all marriages end in divorce, with majority of them not even able to celebrate their first anniversary
A warning needs to be issued: please expect matters in your marriage to get worse before they get better. What if I don't find the right marriage counselor? Do you have to find the best marriage counselor and, if you do not, are you destined for divorce? Again, that is like saying, "If I don't find the best personal trainer I will not loose the 25 pounds I want to loose and it will be the fault of a bad trainer if I gain more weight. You feel like you've known each other all your lives even though you've only known each other a few months or years, maybe even just a couple of weeks. Could it be true that we might have a bend toward a certain kind of perception? What stories are we unconsciously saying to ourselves? Is a skewed perception preventing you from seeing what is virtuous and acceptable about your present partner? Baggage will always prevent contentment in marriage
It may seem weird when I say this, but even if you and your spouse are at each other's throats, can't stand to be in the same room together, or are clashing all the time, these things can actually be sort of a positive sign. Compassion for her core hurts is the healthy way to help her heal her pain. Making hurt women feel ashamed of their natural (albeit irrational) feelings of guilt is intolerably bad practice
However, the marriage counselor they went to see was anything but orthodox. Ask the receptionist when you call what the counselor's policy is. It's the effort you make in the here-and-now that gets you to the promised land. Start with a vision. Try to see the marriage for what it can be in ten, twenty or fifty years! That's not easy when you're only beginning
