The crucial first steps in stopping a divorce are the secrets to your success. They are by far the most important in the whole process. Trying to apply these steps can be quite a bit more trying than some may make it look. It can be rather complicated trying to save a marriage. Just know that it absolutely can be successful when you know exactly where to start and where to go from there. Here are some of the crucial first steps to take.
The first thing to do is decide what you honestly desire from your marriage.
With so many various styles of marriages, if a couple agrees on a style that works for them, they often do work out better. Look at other couples around you. What type of marriages do you see? Can you imagine any of them being what you may want?
After you have determined what you really want from your marriage and the type of marriage you prefer, it is time to have a talk with your spouse about it.
Maybe what you seek will be a lot of what your partner seeks as well, but if that is not the case, it will show you exactly what does need work.
There are also some things you should avoid doing in the beginning process such as:
Never lie to your spouse. Lies will never help in stopping a divorce. Whether it is lies about how you feel, something you may have done in the past, or how you spend money, they are lies all the same. Lies can cause damage to the marriage that may never be forgiven.
You can't jump to crazy conclusions.
You never know, your spouse could feel differently about something that you never realized, which could keep you from moving on into the future. Don't ever let your imagination run away with you about things that could be all in your head.
You must not say your sorry too much.
When you are apologizing for the things you should have done differently and want to work on, it is the right thing to do. When you start apologizing for things you had nothing to do with it only makes you look insincere and desperate, which they will not think is attractive.
Don't put any added pressure on them.
When you are upset and stressed out, it is easy to threaten them or try to make them feel guilty, but this will in no way help in your efforts. One form of pressure commonly applied is begging. For instance, pleading with your spouse to stay or you couldn't go on with your life without them.
Don't spend your time Sitting around waiting and for things to work out.
Doing this is a big mistake a ton of people make, and surprisingly the simplest to stop. Waiting around and hoping the relationship will find a way to work itself out is unrealistic to say the least.
Issues in a relationship will never solve on their own, just like they were not caused on their own.
Doing any of the things above will just put you both on edge and will just lead to unnecessary confrontation that you obviously don't need at this point.
