How To Fix Your Unhappy Marriage

By John Stason

Marriage is a serious commitment – one that is meant to last forever. Two people unite and make a promise to love each other for the rest of their lives. However, that does not seem true today. Surveys indicate that the number of married couples who are filing for divorce is getting bigger. Many of these couple resorted to divorce because they are no longer happy with the marriage.

Can divorce be the lone answer to this problem? If a couple is unhappy with their marriage, there are better solutions than divorce procedures. Here are some of them:

1. Treat problems as challenges. There is no perfect marriage. There will always be problems that will arise within the marriage. They may be health related, financial, and even emotional problems. If the husband or wife dwells on these problems, it will only worsen the situation. It will only lead to blaming one another and finding fault with each other.

Problems should be treated as challenges. They are there to make the marriage stronger. The husband and wife should have a positive outlook on these problems, learn to handle them and find solutions instead of letting themselves be consumed with these trials.

2. The couple should learn to understand one another and maintain an open communication. Marriages become unhappy when open communication no longer exists. Open communication is very important so each others needs and wants, as well as their feelings are known.

Often married couples tend to be unhappy with the relationship because their partners have become strangers to them. They no longer know one another, which leads to a very unhappy marriage. Communication is a way to know the spouse better and become closer.

3. The couple should find ways to rekindle the spark they once had. There are times that couples become unhappy with the marriage because they no longer appreciate each other’s company. They become focused only on their jobs, friends, children or household issues.

The couple should find ways where they can spend time together. They may want to try new things like traveling, dining out, or go to places where they can spend quality time together. They can do the things they used to do before they got married such as send cards, buy small gifts or send flowers. Reminiscing about happy moments they once shared will help them rekindle the love again.

There are many ways where to solve unhappy marriages. It is very important to have spiritual strength. Couples need to have faith and continue praying for their marriage. Spiritual strength will give them love, patience, understanding, forgiveness and trust which will make them happier as a married couple.
