Saving Your Marriage

Our modern society has become a disposable society.  When our once dear partner is no more of use to us, we call our attorney and instruct him/her to initiate a divorce. 

Truth is, is that divorce has an atrocious side to it.  It’s the simple way out for individuals who haven't an ounce of bravery to salvage what deserves to be salvaged. 

Just think - attorneys will fight tooth and nail to protect businesses in their contract relations or between you and your landlord, your auto-mechanic and your physician, but can’t prevent you from breaking up with your mate. In fact, they'd even counsel you to break up your marriage and then discuss division of belongings as the next logical step.

Marriage is the sole contract that anybody can break, at any time, and not be held responsible for it. From a cost position, divorce may be economically damaging not only for the state but likewise for couples.

Happily married couples are those who carry on investing in the marriage, knowing that for love to prosper, it takes hard work and hearty amounts of creative thinking.

If there's true friendship between husband and wife, the marriage wards off landing on the rocks.  Rather it becomes a rock-hard marriage where no person or circumstance may put it asunder.  As a matter of fact, it's the genuine friendship between two individuals that put more meaning in the words, “for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse, till death do us part”.

Rather than looking at marriage blessed with high points or fraught with depressed points, consider it instead as a series of landmarks. These landmarks have to be regarded as chances to make a marriage solider and more fulfilling. Remaining married is a lifelong effort. 

It requires guts.  It requires nerves of steel to make a marriage work.  A sense of humor and a lower degree of ego may sustain us in that work.

The roadblocks will be numerous, and there will be spots where we'll question our saneness, unsure if we may really hang on.
