*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
In a recent Cosmopolitan survey, around 88% of all women, who were married more than 5 years admitted that their marriages were �on the rocks.� With divorce rates skyrocketing, the chances of a couple making it to their golden anniversary today are slimmer than ever. So what�s going on here? And what should couples do when they are worried that their marriage is on the rocks?
The first thing to realize is that all relationships, whether marital or otherwise go through rough times. As responsibilities and expectations change in your life, so will your relationship with your spouse. Plus, humans never stop growing and it could be that the two of you are growing in different directions at different speeds. But if you really want to save your marriage and take stock in the �till death do us part,� section of your vows � then you need to act quickly. The following 5 steps will help put the two of you back on right path when it comes to your marriage.
1. Communicate. The most prevalent reason couples become dysfunctional is because they stop communicating. It is important that you and your spouse take time every day to talk about what is going on and your feelings. Try to make these encounters pleasurable, and talk about your own relationships rather than your children or your job. Also, use your communication time for something positive and refrain from allowing your pent up resentments and frustrations to surface. Instead, schedule another time to talk about these issues.
2. Connect physically. It�s no secret that sexual desire, intimacy, and interest seem to level off after the first few years of marriage. Men and women both feel differently about sex, and see this �lack of sexual contact� as a larger issue. Women might think they are no longer attractive to their spouse. Men, might feel that they are no longer important to their wives if she doesn�t want to have sex. After a dry spell, it can be difficult to get back in the swing of things and make love to one another. Try not to over think your sexual encounters and just do it. A quickie in the bathroom can do wonders for your marriage and your sex drive. The lack of a sexual connection can be devastating to a marriage and it is up to you to keep the sex alive. After all, remember that sex is supposed to be the fun, easy part of marriage.
3.Compliment one another. Couples often get into a rut of pointing out the negative and complaining or nagging about every little thing. While these minor complaints are really indicative of larger problems � it doesn�t feel good to be in a major that is so negative. Every time you are tempted to say something derogatory or negative, find a positive replacement thought. You might be surprised how far a well-placed compliment can go, especially between a couple that is having some difficulty. Plus, when you start paying attention to just how many negative things you say to one another in the course of the day, you can become aware of areas that YOU and your spouse need to work on.
4. Have a common goal. Something brought the two of you together. Most couples start out with a clear vision and a plan, and somehow get knocked off course. If the two of you can find something to start working for together, it can reignite the passion in your relationship. Plus, you will find that the two of you are on the same page again. Your goal could be a home improvement project, the purchase of a new car or even to start a new business.
5. Seek counseling. There are no guarantees that a marriage counselor can work. But seeing a counselor is a great gesture that can help the two of you focus on the marriage and on fixing the problems. Plus, it makes a statement about how important saving the marriage is to the two of you.
The truth is that with a little love and attention (or TLC) your marriage can and will survive. Most couples have highs and lows in their relationships. As long as you can still remember why you love your spouse, chances are the two of you can work things out.
