Marriage tips - Keep One Step Ahead!

For years I told my kids to choose shrewdly when it comes to life partners. I pointed out that it takes two people to make a marriage work, but only one to ruin it. If they find themselves in a marriage with someone who isn't grown up enough to work on the issues than they might find themselves in need of marriage tips.
While it's never too late to make a marriage work, the longer you wait the more work you will have. Try to stop problems in their tracks before they become embedded patterns of behaviour - which will be much harder to deal with down the road.
So, you may be wondering, how can I save my marriage now that things have gotten out of hand?  The first, and maybe the hardest, thing you have to do is to frankly assess the marriage. Are you truly convinced that your partner cares as much about the marriage as you do? If not, than it may well be time to call it quits and move on.
It is pretty close to impossible to fix the troubles in a marriage if you are the only one trying.  As painful as it might be in the short term, you will most likely find that in the long run you are much happier and you may even wonder why you hung on so long.
If you believe that both of you are committed to making things work than the next order of business is to figure out what you've been doing off beam and change it. Easier said than done, I know, but it is possible if the two of you work together.
Change, even change for the better, is a tough thing for most people. Obviously the way you and your spouse have been doing things in your marriage isn't working. If you want things to be healthier you have to be willing to do things differently, and that can be difficult and daunting.
You must be patient with yourself and your spouse. You are both undergoing a lot of changes and it isn't always going to be smooth sailing. If one or the other of you 'messes up' be sympathetic and don't beat yourselves up about it.
I appreciate that in our society we want, and expect, quick and easy solutions to our problems, but it won't be quick and it probably won't be trouble-free. Be willing to put in the time and effort that it takes to get the results you need and want. Forgive yourself for your mistakes and forgive your spouse for their mistakes. If you both do that, you will already be further ahead of most couples. 
Marriage tips for your frayed marriage are as close as your spouse. Just talking and deciding if you are both on the same page when it comes to your marriage (and if you are both willing to do what it takes to make it work) is sometimes all you really need to make it work.
