How To Save Your Marriage

In this powerful video, marriage expert Coach Lee reveals how you can save your marriage from divorce or separation. If your marriage is in danger of ending in divorce, it's important that you rely on rational guidance instead of an emotional and panicked response. So much of what you feel could help when your marriage is in jeopardy not only won't help to save a marriage, but will often do great harm that could further prevent potential reconciliation. As Coach Lee often emphasizes, it's important that you take things one day - or less - at a time. You don't have to win your spouse back today in order to save your relationship. It doesn't have to happen today in order for it to happen and putting pressure on yourself and your spouse as though it must happen immediately will do far more harm that good. Be sure to watch this video all the way through so that you understand the details - including the potential pitfalls - of your situation so that you can stick to a plan rather than giving into the panick and desperation that might strike you in the coming days, weeks, and months. Reviewing your plan and strategy is important when you feel the anxiety that is common to people going through marital difficulty. SUBSCRIBE to Coach Lee on YouTube!

Great Article on Marriage By David Code

David Code is a writer for HuffingtonPost.com and is an Episcopal minister. His article, The Real Reason Couples Divorce, raises some interesting points that will probably step on the toes of many of us.

He starts the article off by pointing to an interesting tidbit about rats: If a scientist places two rats on a metal grid and then passes an electric current through the grid, every time the rats feel an electric shock they will attack each other.

Likewise with humans, he says, life gets stressful, we instinctively pick a fight with our spouses.

He's right. When we're annoyed with the world around us, we'll often try to find someone to blame who we can lash out at. Even when it's someone who deserves a lot more from us. So calm down and ask yourself why you're really upset. Find your temper instead of losing it and enjoy being around someone who's on your side.

With that in mind, here's a great article by Joe Beam on marriage communication. It's a great reality check and strategy article for communicating with the one you love.
