If you've ever played football, you know how heartbreaking it can be to lose in the championship.
Perhaps the only thing more crushing is the sinking of a marriage relationship but before the clock hits 0:00, take these steps and run with them.
Step 1: How's The Timeline Looking At a certain point, your partnership went from playful sweethearts to somewhat serious to marriage to mortal enemies.
If you can pinpoint that general area when things took a downturn, you'll know where to start for repair.
Step 2: Fix The Cracks: Love isn't the only thing that builds a marriage but sometimes it can be stretched to the limit by financial, health, or other problems.
Don't lose your lover because of stuff that can be fixed by taking on a second job or adjusting your budget.
Step 3: Make A List, Check It Twice: You've got to be certain that you and your spouse's reasons for staying together highly outweigh the advantages of splitting up.
If you make a list of pros and cons of each action, you'll have a better idea about what the future holds.
Step 4: What Are Their Wants: Along with the list, ask your partner what it is that they want out of the marriage.
Maybe children are an issue or they would like to live in a bigger house.
Although these are usually questions better presented before the walk down the aisle, it's still healthy to address them now.
Step 5: Give In You might think that giving in deems you the weak link in the marriage but in actuality, it shows that you're stronger.
If you're willing to sacrifice so that your marriage and children's lives can grow stronger, you're more powerful than it seems.
Step 6: Work More: If your spouse is constantly nagging you and a divorce seems inevitable, try picking up an extra job.
Not only is the extra money nice but you'll have to spend less time around them and you just might find out you get along better when you're both not working from home and spending 24 hours a day together.
Step 7: Become Roommates: Some couples who've been together for 45 years are funny because if you went to their house, you'd never know they're married.
Sometimes having separate beds, separate chores, and different quiet rooms is the key to a long and healthy marriage and hey, it's worth a shot.
