Once it appears that the magic has disappeared, saving a marriage can seem like an impossible task and many people find it easier to simply give up on their relationships. This can happen at anytime during the relationship, and both couples that have been married for a short time and those that have been married for years can find the relationship turning stale. Saving a marriage may not be the easiest thing in the world, but with dedication and commitment from both parties the prospect of saving a marriage can be more achievable than you might think. 

Saving a marriage is all about time and effort. If your marriage is on the rocks, then it is clear that something in your lives needs to change. Perhaps the stresses of everyday life have forced you to spend less and less time together. A surprising number of couples get so caught up with their careers that they have little time left for the marriage. Maybe looking after the kids means that you rarely get time to spend alone. Or maybe you’ve both developed very difference interests that take you separate directions.

Whatever the situation, putting aside quality time to spend with one another is a vital part of saving a marriage. Whether you do this by going out as a couple, spending quality time at home together or even going for weekends away and holidays as a couple, the time spend will go a long way towards improving communication and putting the spark back into the marriage.

It can be hard to think back and remember how you felt when you first got married, particularly if you have been married for many years. However, there was clearly something there – a certain magic and romance – that gave you a reason to get married in the first place. Although this magic can fade over time, a little effort from both parties can help to rejuvenate the original spark.
