People experience problems nowadays due to small things that they fail to resolve and they blow them out of proportion because they did not know how to resolve things.
Saving a marriage takes dedication, perseverance and the will to save it.
In this article, I am going to detail the things that you can do and then if you are dedicated, you will eventually make a breakthrough.
At first, it may seem like generic advice from a random internet blog but I have done this before so, do not stop reading, for the sake of saving your dream boat.
Welcome to my couch, call me Phil and let’s see what we have. Spoiler alert: IT HAS WORKED BEFORE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. The trick always lies in communication and how you present yourself to the other.
- Compassion Is Key
When you start seeing problems, you need to stop and listen to what your spouse is saying and see everything from her point of view.
The reason why couples have problems resolving things is that they do not want to listen to what their spouses have to say.
If it is hard for your spouse to talk about what is bothering them, talk about what is bothering you and then maybe they will open up too and then you can start finding solutions.
Also, when you are doing this, do not raise your voice. Compassion should be the key ingredient.
- Control Your Temper
When you are talking to your spouse they may say something that will make you angry or defensive. Do not interrupt them, just stay silent and let them rant until they are done and then ask politely what they want to do.
After that, they will have calmed down enough to be reasoned with. People who have bottled up stuff will have a hard time listening because they will be thinking about what they want to say rather than what you are saying.
- Mirroring and Eye Contact
When we talk about mirroring, we are referring to a technique where you show that you understand and then apologize without being sarcastic or defensive and identifying with the complaint being presented. That way, she gets the feeling that you understand exactly what is going on.
Eye contact is the key to showing interest and when you are looking at someone while they speak, they will get the feeling that you can actually understand them even better than when you are not. Eye contact will help people feel your empathy.
Eye contact will help people feel your empathy.
- Touch and Initiate Intimacy
When people touch it creates certain warmth and intimacy is known for dissolving the hard feelings that would have ultimately created a breakup.
FUN FACT: When people hug and touch there is the release of a certain hormone which makes people love each other and initiates trust.
- Control Emotions and be Open
When you are talking, you need to take deep breaths in between to make sure that your emotions do not overspill and that they do not get in the way of you two making up your relationship.
If you let the emotions come out every time, your partner won’t say anything about anything that triggers wailing even if it’s important.
- Argue like an Adult
When you are arguing about some things, you need to know that arguing is an art and that when you argue in a way that frustrates your partner, you make them angrier every minute you open your mouth. You need to keep the arguments in check and they should not be condescending or sarcastic.
You need to keep the arguments in check and they should not be condescending or sarcastic.
It’s kind of funny to say something sarcastic and watch her stammer, blink and storm away but she will hate you for rendering her speechless like that and repairing that damage is not funny at all.

Tough information to implement. Takes strong people to stop in the middle of a fight and ask themselves if they’re still fighting for each other or just fighting. Most divorces and breakups can be avoided by trying three quarters of these things.
My marriage has been on the rocks for some time. I agree with Paul that it’s hard to start talking and stop fighting. But this article has some really great tips on what you should do in times like this. Well researched and very emphatic.
Marriage is not easy. I’m on my second one. I really want it to work out so I’m reading nooks like this all the time. So far this book has shown me some key mistakes I was making in my marriage. I’m glad I caught them now.
My marriage was undergoing an extremely bad phase. Just when I thought there was no hope left for this relation, I found this book. I learned many new things, detected my mistakes, and trying to correct them, also my husband is helping me. We are moving back to our healthy relationship, thanks to the makers!
This book is full of simple yet powerful tips on how to to make your relationship work.
When you first start dating, you send your lover cute little texts, you write them cards, you try to learn more about them, you go out for date night at least once a week. After a few years of marriage, most texts you send are “can you take the meat out of the freezer?”. “How much did you withdraw from the bank today?”. After a few years of marriage, writing cards turns into writing cheques. Date night involves sitting in front of the T.V. with a bag of chips, while someone ends up falling asleep.
The truth is that we’re all imperfect, and the greatness in any relationship lives in the growth. You have to embrace your humanity, as well as your partner’s, and allow for the imperfections of both of you to collide. Then, together, work on the healing. When you’re angry, disappointed, or hurt by something your spouse did, you have to apply positive intent and assume that their intention was not to hurt you. This is when you remember the love: when you remind yourself that he or she is not the enemy.
Treat your partner with respect, be kind, listen, and breathe. And please, do seek out help—as it really is too much to do alone.
These are the most unique tips for a marriage that i have ever come across. I honestly have to say that the author of this particular system is an expert in this area. And that is because they work.
One piece of advice I believe on how to save your marriage is to seek help early instead of waiting for contempt, criticism, defensiveness, and stonewalling to become entrenched in the relationship.
A couple will undoubtedly face issues and part of the idea of being someone’s partner is working on navigating through these things and coming out even stronger. It’s important to spend quality time together so that you can nurture your bond.
Both individuals in the marriage need to make improving the relationship a priority. Couples need to be able to listen to something that sounds totally absurd, and still see how it looks to their partner.
Let’s focus on how to use these negative emotions to guide you to a better marriage. The best things in life really are free. The more positives you give, the more you’ll get.
