By Arnold Ovelton

You walk up the aisle, your beautiful gown lightly dancing across the floor behind you. The music is playing, and you look up to your soon-to-be-wed husband with absolutely delight. You can't help it; a smile stretches itself widely across your face, and you clasp hands with your husband, your father having gone down to sit in one of the seats. The ceremony begins, but the marriage ends as you sign the documents.

Has your relationship with your spouse been lost, forgotten, and destroyed? Maybe it was the fights, the lack of attention, the struggles, or another unfortunate factor? If any of these are relevant, keep reading, because no relationship is hopeless. Learn how you can turn something that's seems hopeless into hopeful, simply through following these marriage help steps.

1. "I'm sorry". Apologizing but more importantly accepting an apology and forgiving a person is the pinwheel to a successful marriage. Differences of opinion will arise, as will tempers and disagreements. Forgiving someone can be tough, but doing it for the sake of a relationship is tougher. Doing it independently is toughest, but something you'll appreciate later.

2. Respect and honesty. There becomes a certain point in marriages where spouses begin to appreciate each other's efforts, love, and so many other things, especially in dysfunctional ones. Say thank you once in a while, let them recognize the fact that they appreciate what your spouse does for you. Telling the truth and not letting a problem build up inside are two things every marriage needs. Married couples with great communication and honesty are those that build the happiest and strongest relationships.

3. "I'm mad about something". As discussed before, don't let yourself get mad inside. Talk to your partner, and express what's going through your head. If a wife is angry at her husband, she's got to convey her thoughts as soon as she knows what's bugging her. She should never assume that he knows what he's done wrong. Something that she notices he might not, as both human genders notice different things. Couples always need to communicate.

4. No Patriarchy or Matriarchy. Make decisions together! Don't let one person run the other over with his or her opinion. Do you really think your spouse should have to take the dog out for another walk? Is the IRS really a concern we can put off until next week? Are the kids really going to be okay at Aunt Sally's for tonight? Can we really afford a boat? These are all questions to opinions that were stated independently. A better example of working together might be "taxes are piling up, but I think we can put them off. What do you think?" Hopefully your spouse will bring you back to earth and tell you that no, we can't, because otherwise you'll come home to no home. If you're disputing over a decision, this is natural, and you both just need some space. Relax, and come back to it later with a fresh mind. If you still conflict, try giving in to your spouse. Exchange roles and you'll notice a difference in the hostility in your relationship conflicts.

5. It's the simple little things that matter. Husbands: remember to acknowledge your wife! You need to congratulate her for big and little jobs accomplished, maybe by a romantic night out, a dozen roses, or something as little as complimenting her how beautiful she is, inside and out. Being affectionate is essential for both husband and wife, so you need not forget it. Wives need to take care of their husbands, and tend to their needs and wants.

6. "I love you.". Staying close and connected with your partner in a marriage is key; intimacy thrives in such an environment. If something turns you on, say so, and if not, make sure to mention it as well. This could be non-sexually or sexually. Get to know your partner personally, and find time to do so.

Some people regard marriage as "walking on eggshells." It can be that way sometimes, especially when so many people agree. But when you move beyond the negative aspect, when you see the positive aspect you could create from the negative one, you realize that you can make whatever you wish out of a relationship as long as both people know they can hold onto each other forever, no matter the situation.

So why continue letting your relationship with your spouse deteriorate? Put down those divorce papers, and settle for something else, something that takes you further beyond just six tips. - 30299
