Chances Are You Don’t Need Ways To Save A Marriage If You Just Paid A Little More Attention

It’s exciting getting married, standing at the wedding altar and exchanging vows is the beginning of a new and happy life together. Never would you ever think when you read your weeding vows that you’d ever be looking for ways to save a marriage.

However the act of marriage and exchanging wedding vows does something to a majority of couples. Vowing to join ‘in sickness and in health, till death do us apart’ seems to translate to ‘No matter how dire the marriage has become, you’re not leaving!’

Complacency affects most marriages, even for a short while, perhaps it’s because we take it for granted that the other half will stick around no matter what happens. The relationship changes, priorities change and we may fail to appreciate each other at times. Now that you’re married you have other more important things to worry about, children, finances, the roof over your head, paying bills and putting food on the table.

Life becomes a routine and the lust begins to fade away for each other. Sure you still love each other, but it’s not the exciting love and appreciation that you shared for each other during your first encounters or your honeymoon. Many marriages that eventually break down have been slowly going downhill for quite sometime, before any spouse even attempts to find ways to save a marriage.
