Knowing where to turn when your marriage is dying can be frightening and frustrating.
This just wasn't supposed to happen right? So what do you do? Maybe you have tried counseling already and found that it was unsuccessful.
Some people find themselves in a situation where their spouses are unwilling to go to counseling, either thinking there is no problem, or that it will work itself out.
Experience has shown, however, that these things don't normally "work themselves out" and that quick and decisive action is necessary.
Of course, not every marriage can be saved, but more divorces happen than necessary.
So often, couples use that as a convenient way out when the going gets tough.
If you have decided that your marriage is important enough to save, you may be surprised to learn that it can happen even if your spouse is not willing or interested in saving the marriage.
How do I know this? Because I am living proof! I was once facing a divorce that my wife initiated.
In the process I learned what not to do (believe me, I made some BIG mistakes!) and finally the steps that would save my marriage, even though my wife had been talking divorce.
The best advice I can offer you right now is to get control of negative emotions and replace them with calm and more resourceful ones.
Believe in your marriage and make a firm resolve to do whatever it takes to save it.
If you don't then who will?
