They say that prevention is better than cure.
How True.
Why not do something to save your marriage now, instead of waiting until it is too late? Taking action now could very well prevent going to the divorce courts and having all those happy years go to waste.
The thing is, there are obviously problems in your marriage that are causing tension between you and your spouse.
Figure out what are the problems that you are causing and do something to fix them right away.
If there are things that your spouse has complained to you about over the years, no matter how small, they are obviously annoying and need to be dealt with.
So make a list of all the things you are aware of that you do that is making your spouse unhappy in the marriage.
Even the tiniest little problems - they may seem small and insignificant to you, but if they occurred often enough, they would have made your spouse very unhappy.
Once you have ascertained what your contribution is to the unhappiness in your marriage, and have figured out how you're going to deal with it, then tell your spouse that you would like to have a chat to him/her.
Let your spouse see that you are aware of the problems you have caused in the marriage, and what you are willing to do to fix the situation.
This will no doubt encourage your spouse to do the same.
He/she knows that it is not only you who have contributed to the unhappiness in your marriage, and will also want to do his/her bit to try to make things right again.
Admitting to your faults, doing something to fix them, communicating and co-operating with your spouse can all help to save your marriage before it gets too bad and ends up in the divorce court.
Try it - it really works - your marriage will be back on track again in no time at all.
