How To Save My Marriage - Even If My Spouse Will Not Help Save It

Are you wondering how to save my marriage since your spouse does not seem interested in helping you save it? I know that is a tough spot to be in, but actually it is not that uncommon. Many times one spouse will give up on the marriage too soon, but that does not mean that all is lost.

All relationships require effort from both partners in order to be successful, so it should be no surprise that to save your relationship will require two people also. But you do not need him or her to sign on to the plan right away, just eventually.

What I want to discuss right now are things you can do by yourself as an answer to how to save my marriage and not only avoid divorce but actually restore the relationship to a healthy condition where both of you are again happy in each others arms.

It is frustrating when your spouse seems to have given up on your marriage and will not help you save it. I have felt that kind of frustration at times in my life too. Harboring resentment and anger is a common and easy reaction to that type of situation. But please fight those feelings because they will only make matters worse.

What I have found is that sometimes I have to be the first one to change. For some of us that is easier than for others. But as you change there will be two distinct benefits that you will notice as a result of your hard work and efforts.

First, you will feel better about yourself and be a happier person. This has so many benefits both for you individually and the marriage that I am not sure I want to take the space to list them all.

Just being happier yourself should be enough of a result to make you want to try; humans always seem to do better when focusing on others instead of themselves. In addition to that, though, is your appeal to other people increases also. Members of the opposite sex will find you more attractive, as hopefully your spouse will, and everyone else will gravitate toward you because you are more of a joy to be around.

Second, is that most people when faced with someone doing things for them and treating them nicely, will, at least over time, begin to reciprocate. It just seems like the natural thing to do. We hope, of course, that your spouse will respond like most people.

Another suggestion for you to try on your own is to increase the attention you pay to yourself as far as eating right, proper exercise, getting enough sleep and even squeezing in some "me" time to cut the stress level down.

This goes back around to the self esteem and happiness factor in addition to the way others see you. You can never go wrong with looking better and being a happier person.

Ultimately you want to be able to start talking about your marriage with your spouse. One way that may come about is from simple human curiosity. If your spouse sees you looking better, feeling better, acting happier and being kinder to him or her, you may get the question "hey, what is going on?", and that would be fantastic.

At that point you have been given an invitation to explain your feelings for him/her and your feelings toward your marriage. (Remember, they asked!) Then, after you have shared what is on your heart, you can ask them to tell you how they feel.

If this is all done in a calm and loving fashion then you might just get a warming of your spouse to the reconciliation process, and then they will be asking how to save my marriage.

Doesn't that sound good? Will all of this be fast and easy? Unfortunately I doubt it. But apply yourself to the task of saving your marriage on a daily basis and seek support from a trusted friend to help avoid discouragement.

The steps above are a fantastic start and I suggest you begin right away. But there is so much more to learn and apply.
