Save My Marriage- Put Your Marriage First

Often, couples come to a point in their relationship where things are not as they once were. They feel separated, lonely, and sometimes even as if the other person does not love them with the intensity that once existed. Deep down, they might be feeling “I want to save my marriage”, but they simply don’t know where to begin.

This is the time to place all of the cares of the world to the side and bring the marriage back in first place- where it should have always been. Typically, this is one of the number one reasons why couples have problems. Not everyday, life problems: but issues that should not have advanced to a much higher, and more costly, level.

One of the main problems facing couples is that they do not resolve issues as they occur. One person may feel “its too small to matter”, or “I should just let it go”. But if it is big enough to contemplate it as a problem, then it is a big enough problem to work out now. What is a minor issue now can lead to a major fight later, if left unresolved.

We have all heard how important communication is in a relationship. But part of that equation also involves openness. Many people falsely believe that the two are one and the same, but in actuality, they can be quite different.

Communication involves talking to your spouse and telling them how you feel. Openness defines how much you communicate. Just saying that you want to communicate is one thing: saying you want to be open about anything is an entirely different matter.

Men are notorious for making this mistake. Many are taught from a young age to guard their emotions, not let them out, and if so, only in small, inconspicuous amounts that will not attract attention or deter from their manhood. He may feel as if he is guarding his emotions, but at the same time he is being reserved. Being reserved doesn’t solve a problem: being open does.

If we trust our companion enough to marry, to single them out to devote our life to, and to cherish for the rest of our lives, then why not be open with them, too? Many areas of a person’s life involve things that they might consider inconsequential, or not worth bring up. If a person really feels that, “I want to save my marriage”, then let the spouse decide if they are inconsequential or not.

New Marriage After Divorce Will Always Have Some Baggage

All new marriages have their own unique issues. It can take time for two people to get used to each others mood and rhythms. This is really a challenge if you haven’t lived together before the marriage. When you consider the “normal” challenges of a newlywed couple and then consider the challenges of a new marriage after divorce it’s easy to see that things could get tricky.

After a divorce it would be virtually impossible not to have some baggage. That is very often where the trouble begins. You are so worried that your new partner will act just like your old partner that it’s easy to see things that may not really be there.

You have to be able to slow down and really see what is, or isn’t, going on. If you were really hurt by something your ex did you will be even more prone to seeing things that may not be there.

One of the best examples of this is if there was cheating in your previous marriage. It’s extraordinarily difficult to learn to trust again after you have been cheated on. It would be very easy to start seeing “signs” that your new spouse is doing the same thing all over again.

Of course, it’s not impossible that they are, but in a lot of cases it’s just the insecurity of one partner.

The good news is that it can actually be pretty easy to avoid falling into this trap: don’t remarry right away.

A lot of people will remarry too quickly because they are hurt, lonely and afraid of being alone. That is a huge mistake. The more time you allow yourself to deal with the issues from your past marriage and heal, the less likely you will be to bring all that baggage into your next marriage.

By dealing with it all you have a much better chance of your new marriage after divorce being a happy one.

It’s also a bad idea to start dating too soon. You aren’t going to be your best and for that reason it’s likely that you won’t attract the best to you.

For example, if you were cheated on or mis treated and you jump right back into the dating pool right after your marriage ends, you will still be in that “victim” mode. Few confidant, independent people are going to be attracted to someone like that.

Who will be attracted so someone like that will be someone who is also wounded and they are looking for someone to either enable them or to walk on so they can prove their own strength. Not at all what you want.

Depending on the depth of the issues in your past marriage you may even want to see a counselor for a while before you start dating again. It’s easy to fool ourselves and convince ourselves that we have dealt with everything, but in many cases we haven’t dealt with it at all, we’ve just pushed it down and ignored it. That is when it’s most likely to come back and bite you.

Dealing with the past and taking your time before you take the plunge again, is the best way of ensuring that your
new marriage after divorce will work out much better than the first one did.

I bet there was a time when the two of you were much happier together. Then things started to turn sour. Maybe you can trace it to one specific event, or maybe it’s something that has been slowly building up over time. Either way, you are now at a point where you are wondering if you break up or make up.

While I would love to be able to give you a simple answer one way or another, that wouldn’t be fair to you. That’s because everybody is different, and every relationship is different. However, there are some things that can help you decide which one is bet for you at this time.

If you are in an abusive relationship, then it’s not a question of break up or make up, it’s a question of how fast you can get out of it. This may not be easy, but it’s necessary. You have to get away from the abuse. There is always a chance that they will change, but you must see absolute proof. In other words, don’t let them beg and plead for you to come back. Also, you should know that while they may change, it’s actually quite rare, so you may be better off making a clean and permanent break.

Other situations are more tricky. You need to determine if there are any romantic feelings left in the relationship. Even the smallest ember can be rekindled into a meaningful relationship, but it’s going to take work. And that leads to the next point…
Do you care for your partner enough to do whatever it takes to make up? It can take a long time, and a lot of work to get your relationship to where you want it to be. You’ll probably have to make changes to some of your habits, learn how to communicate more effectively, and be able to deal with the ups and downs as you’re working things out.

You may think you’re in love, but you have to be sure. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking they love somebody, but in reality they’re just in love with the idea of being love. If that’s the case with you, that’s okay. There’s nothing wrong that. In fact, it’s much better to be up front and honest about it now so you can start finding somebody else to fall into “real” love with.

So far we have been talking about you when it comes to the decision of whether to break up or make up, but you also need to consider how your partner feels. If you want to work things out, and they want out of the relationship or don’t love you anymore, then it’s best to respect their decision. Besides, by doing it this way you actually increase your odds of getting your ex back in the future if that’s something you decide you want to do. Either way, don’t rush into making a decision about staying together or splitting up. Such a decision has serious consequences, and should be made seriously.

Do you feel like your heart has been smashed into a thousand pieces after watching your ex leave your life? Are you screaming I want to get my ex back fast? I want you to know that you can quickly turn things around and learn how to make your ex want you back and in the end make them feel as if they made a huge mistake leaving you. Before you do or say something that you might regret you need to try and get your emotions in check and allow your feelings to settle down.

One of the biggest mistakes ex’s make is trying to convince their ex to stay. No matter the reason for the break up, your ex has their reasons as to why your relationship can not continue. You must respect their wishes, as hard as it might sound you must accept the fact that your relationship is over for the time being.

Do not get desperate and resort to guilt and manipulation tactics, they are almost certain to push you ex away further and make it extremely difficult to reunite. You must understand that you need to go against all those horrible feelings you have right now. I know it’s difficult but you must do you best to keep it together.

Give yourself sometime to let your emotions settle. The only way you will be in the right mindset to get your ex back is to in the right frame of mind. Crying, pleading and begging your ex to stay will only make the problem worse and show your ex that they made the right decision. This is the last thing you want right?

Avoid calling and texting your ex, nothing will push your ex away faster than a desperate ex that is simply not getting the message. This is where most ex’s go wrong by not begin able to go a day without trying to contact their ex, but it’s one of the biggest killer of relationship. Do you best to put your phone down or step away from your computer if you feel like contacting your ex.

No break up is ever final, in fact most ex’s will not be 100% that the decision they made was the correct one. With this in mind you should know that you need to be on your best behavior and give your ex some space and time for him or her to gather their thoughts.

You need to show you ex that you are still the same person they fell in love with. Love is rarely the reason for a break up, it’s the problems that occur during a course of a relationship that build to a breaking point. With that in mind you should know that everything else can be fixed with the right mindset and game plan.
