By Mark J Thompson

Many couples will often discover after rushing into getting divorced that if they had spent some time looking at their relationship beforehand they could have prevented it from happening. In this article we offer just a few tips on how to stop a divorce before it becomes too late.

Tip 1 - If you want to stop your marriage ending in divorce then you need to first remember the reason why you got married. Spend some time with each other looking back on those things you did together when you first started going out and which brought you closer to each other. Then you need to start doing some of these once more.

Tip 2 - It is crucial at this stage of your marriage when problems begin to occur that you spend time listening to what each other has to say. Only by listening to why you each feel a certain way can you work on finding ways to deal with these problems and so make sure that you do so together.

Tip 3 - Although you may find it difficult to but there are times when you should admit to the other that you were wrong. Certainly often by putting your feelings to one side can often clearly show you that your partner was right in the first place. So when the argument becomes a little heated between the two of you tell your partner that you are going to walk away and think about what they have said.

Tip 4 - For many couples when they have been a relationship for a long time it starts to lose the passion that would have initially brought them together. For these couples if they want to prevent themselves from ending up in the same situation as many other couples then they need to find things that they can do together and which will help to bring the passion back into their relationship again.

Tip 5 - A way of adding some excitement to a marriage is for them to try and arrange to do things which they can both enjoy together. By spending even a small amount of time together each week can help to keep the flames burning between them. Consider going on dates similar to the types you first when on when you started dating.

Tip 6 - Even though you may want to make changes to your partner which may be good for the relationship, it doesn't mean that they will have the same view as you. If you try to alter someone in order to improve the relationship it can have the opposite effect and drive them away from you instead.

Tip 7 - Are there any unhealthy patterns in your relationship which are actually causing rifts between you and your partner. Do you find that you are doing things more and more on your own simply because they keep you out of your partner's way. If so then you need to find out what it is you are trying to avoid and then face up to it. - 30299
