Marriage And Separation Advice

Every person is unique and every marriage is unique. But that doesn't mean there aren't some general tips we can consider if we believe our marriage is heading towards the divorce court. These are general tips mind but any one of them might put the brakes on your marriage traveling down that slippery slope to divorce. It's possible to stop your divorce and here is how it can happen.

TIP: please take a look at the Stop Your Divorce Today. It's a great book published by DivorceGuide.com and contains all the information that you will need on how to save your marriage.

1. Make an agreement but make it fair. Draw up an agreement whereby both partners agree to do certain things or to not do certain things. Put it in writing. Obviously two things need to happen. You must stick to the agreement and it must be fair. Asking one partner to do something which is nigh on impossible or asking one partner to do more than the other is asked to do, is not fair. Keep it fair and give it a go. If both partners stick to the agreement, you may well stop your divorce.
2. Talk, talk and talk. One of the quickest ways to end a marriage is to stop communicating. Times might be tough but above all else you must keep open the lines of communication. Make some ground rules such as don't raise your voice, don't threaten or intimidate and don't speak while your partner is speaking. But keep talking to your partner.
3. Think loose cannon. A loose cannon is one which moves around on a ship and can be the source of real trouble. Be ready for change. Be ready for a response which comes out of left field. Don't be rigid or set in your ways. Think about what might happen. Prepare for it mentally and emotionally. People who don't think like this can be flattened when an offer or request suddenly appears. Stay awake and on your toes.
4. Be unselfish. The more you concentrate on yourself and your needs, the less likely you are to see your partner's point of view. Ask yourself what they need. Put yourself in their shoes. If both partners think about and act on trying to help the other, you will place a huge barrier outside the divorce court. This form of action is one of the best ways to stop a divorce.
5. Nobody is the boss. When you have a marriage when one partner assumes control or goes on a power trip, you are only helping speed the day when the divorce will become a reality. Both partners are to be equal. Even if one brings in far more money or is better educated or smarter, both are still equal. Both must have an equal opportunity to have their say and each carries a vote the same as the other.
6. Lock away your marriage. Couples often drift apart because they are apart. Lock in times when work, friends and anything else plays second fiddle to your spouse. Guarantee that you will spend time alone giving your relationship every opportunity it needs to grow and become stronger.
7. Dump your secrets. Keeping secrets from your spouse is a ticking bomb. It is a slow burner waiting for something much bigger to happen down the track. Be honest with your spouse. Don't keep secrets and allow your love to grow.
