		</div><p>Hey Philip here,</p>
<p>Julie and I have been arguing over many things since we tied the knot and it came to the point where we just ignored and stopped talking to each other. As I mentioned, we had a discussion together on where things went wrong but she wasn&#8217;t ready for it yet. She couldn&#8217;t take it and went on being defensive for things we didn&#8217;t agree upon.</p>
<p>I tried to talk to her and took several measures to figure out how to stay married happily together. I suggested we separate for the time being, thinking that we would start to miss each other and get back together stronger. She agreed.</p>
<p>During that period, I desperately tried to figure out how to stay married. Marriage counseling, friends and family couldn&#8217;t help much. I resorted to seek for advice on the internet. I wasn&#8217;t necessarily looking for a course on how to save my marriage but that was when I came across Amy Waterman&#8217;s <a href="http://www.howtostaymarried.net/go/savemarriage/" rel="nofollow" >Save My Marriage Today e-course and book</a>. To be totally honest, I was a bit hesitant to try it. You can read <a href="http://www.howtostaymarried.net/save-my-marriage-today-review/" >my review of it here</a>.</p>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t the best computer man around so having to download a book and then taking a class online was slightly intimidating but I wanted to save my marriage with Julie. Let&#8217;s be honest, imagine how many infomercials and the likes appear on TV every night promising to do this or that, but you know it&#8217;s all a scam? Well, when I opened it, I knew that this was what I needed. I was truly impressed by <em>Save My Marriage Today</em>&#8217;s and I&#8217;ll tell you why.</p>
<p>It has 20 chapters and during the period we were separated, I read the book from cover to cover twice. The course allowed me to <strong>understand my mistakes in my relationship</strong> with my wife. If I were to ask my friends or family, the would have said nothing and I would never been able to see what I was doing to my wife. Also, I was hesitant to seek friends and family for advice because they can be a bit judgmental. That being said, the advice from Amy Waterman&#8217;s <em>Save My Marriage Today</em> book made more sense to me than listening to the marriage counselor.</p>
<p>This e-course also does a great job <strong>addressing the lack of physical intimacy</strong> in our relationship. Although a bit embarrassing to discuss our sexless marriage right here, it wasn&#8217;t as bad as I thought. Amy gave me many tips to add that extra level of intimacy into our relationship (which wasn&#8217;t there before!)</p>
<p>Well, every product has it&#8217;s own <strong>shortcomings</strong> and I&#8217;ll quickly tell you what I didn&#8217;t like!</p>
<ul>
	<li>Firstly, it was a <strong>lengthy book</strong>! It&#8217;s about 150+ pages and 35 exercise included with it. The language is very polished and it&#8217;s surprisingly easy to read. There are 6 bonus books included and I find &#8220;&#8216;How to be Happy!&#8221; and &#8220;&#8216;Seven Ways to Live Life to the Max&#8221; most enjoyable to read. Although it took lots of time to go through them, it was worth the read.</li>
	<li>The &#8216;<em>Love Bank</em>&#8216; concept introduced by the book was not properly conveyed and this idea was originated from <a href="http://www.howtostaymarried.net/his-needs-her-needs/" rel="nofollow" >Dr Williard Haley&#8217;s &#8220;His Needs, Her Needs: Building an Affair-Proof Marriage&#8221;</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=stayingmarried-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0800717880" border="0" alt=" How To Stay Married Like I Did" width="1" height="1" title="How To Stay Married Like I Did" /> book. For those who are interested, this book explains the concept in a greater detail and I recommend you understand the concept because it&#8217;s very important!</li>
	<li>Although there were many case studies included in the book, I felt the <strong>author could have included</strong> more to illustrate their key points. Nevertheless, the knowledge I gained was useful and everything worked out fine for me.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>My Happy Ending!</strong></h2>
<p>Most importantly, this book has taught me how to <strong>handle not only my own faults</strong> but also my wife&#8217;s.</p>
<p>I learned what a relationship between married couples should be like and in hindsight, I truly believe that this guide is tailored for a wide variety of people having difficulties in their marriage (even for the divorced!). The information in this course is now the <strong>pillars of my own relationship</strong> with my wife and I recommend this course to anyone!</p>
<p>Now I realize begging, pleading, being desperate and volatile was one of the main reasons why it made me more unattractive and our relationship worse. The &#8216;New&#8217; me created from the book is now very appealing to my wife. I&#8217;ve vowed to communicate openly to my wife and being happy with myself is a huge key to my marriage. The things I learned from the book have been put into good practice and the results are pretty convincing.</p>
<p>I believe if you work through this course like I did, <strong>you will</strong> not only be able to save your marriage but also <strong>rebuild the foundation for a better and stronger relationship</strong> with your partner. Sometimes I wonder if the hardships I endured was actually a blessing in disguise because with this book, I&#8217;ve created an even healthier relationship with my wife!</p>

		</div><p>You might be wondering divorce might be just around the corner if you didn&#8217;t take action to save your marriage. It is becoming a common scenario for many failing marriages because most couples become married without proper education. The secret formula of staying married is not taught in any school or university so most couples have it hard and enter another phase of their life not knowing what they will encounter.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter if you are married recently or for a long time, relationships between couples can go downhill at any time. If you don&#8217;t want to be another statistic then you have to be prepared on how to take the best measures to save your own marriage. I hope these save marriage advice will be able to help you before it&#8217;s too late.</p>
<p><strong>Have a better relationship with your parents or in-laws</strong></p>
<p>More often than not your parents or in-laws are a good role models for your marriage. It is always a good idea to get their support and learn from their marriages. Most people who get married young will face a whole lot of situations which tests their sense of maturity in relationships. If you have support from your family, you will most likely find an answer to solve your marital problems.</p>
<p><strong>Communicate more often</strong></p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t communicate, nobody will know what you are thinking. Quite often you may think your partner understands you very well and vice versa. In reality, nobody will know what you feel or think if you don&#8217;t convey them properly. A strong relationship is one with effective communication. If you come up to a roadbloack in your marriage, discuss it with your partner and find out the underlying problem.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not good in communicating your feelings and thoughts, the best way is to start with small talks. Taking initiatives is important and will lead to a better relationship. You can talk about what&#8217;s for dinner and what you did at work. If you can speak your mind more openly with your partner, you can fix a problem in your marriage easily!</p>
<p><strong>Be committed to your marriage</strong></p>
<p>To learn how to save your marriage, you need commitment to your marriage. It is quite surprising when you realize many people who enters a married relationship do not put much effort into their marriage. If you haven&#8217;t been putting effort into making your marriage work, you are waiting for your marriage to fail miserably. To grow your relationship or marriage, both partners need to commit themselves to improve your marriage as a routine. You can find some helpful <a href="http://www.howtostaymarried.net/tips-to-improve-your-marriage/" ><strong>tips to improve your marriage</strong></a> here.</p>
<p><strong>Build trust in your relationship</strong></p>
<p>This goes hand in hand with good communication in your relationship. If you are speak your mind clearly with your spouse, you will enjoy a btter relationship because there are no secrets or miscommunication between the both of you. Trust is not gained overnight, but you can lose it instantly. The most common problems in a failing marriage is the lack of trust between both parties. However, make sure that you give constructive comments when you are correcting your spouse to avoid any misunderstanding.</p>
<p><strong>Stop being selfish!</strong></p>
<p>Selfishness can quite often cause marriage failure. Some couples argue almost everyday because they don&#8217;t stop to think of their partner&#8217;s feelings. If you are one of them, STOP and take some time and try to put yourself in your partner&#8217;s shoes. If you can put their feelings first over yours, it will help save your failing marriage. Law of reciprocity works time and time again, once you start doing this, you will enjoy the effects soon enough!</p>
<p>Alright, these are tips you can start implementing right away to save your marriage. If you can start doing these steps I&#8217;ve recommended, you don&#8217;t need marriage counseling or any external help at all. Your marriage is yours to cherish and you must take serious action to get back on track.

		</div><p>Often, the golden question every troubled spouse is asking. Whether you are learning how to save your marriage from a divorce, after an affair or separation, you are doing it alone, You must realize that this has to change because just as it takes &#8220;<em>two to tango</em>&#8220;, the principles are the same.</p>
<p>Marital problems can&#8217;t be solved by one person alone so you have to believe that you can succeed even if you are the only one trying to save the relationship. Why? Because it only takes only one person to adjust how you relate to each other. If you take the initiative and determination to solve your marital problem, you run less risk of worsening the relationship to a divorce. Here are some tips and advice I learnt which helped me save my marriage quickly and it should help you too!</p>
<h3><strong>Accept each other</strong></h3>
<p>No marriage is perfect regardless of how much in love a couple is and rough times do happen. Do not expect your partner to be perfect because you are not perfect too. Accepting flaws of each other and expect each other to make mistakes is a good way to have a successful marriage</p>
<h3><strong>Learn how to compromise</strong></h3>
<p>Don&#8217;t let past problems or misunderstandings determine the outcome of your marriage. Personally, I feel that this is the hardest thing most couples encounter. What happened in the past, trying to prove to be right and not give in to one another is the biggest block in maintaining a happy marriage. Learn to forgive and forget.</p>
<h3><strong>Good communication is vital</strong></h3>
<p>This is the basics of a good marriage and most do not understand that communication is more than ability to talk. Listening skills are just as important so work on that too. Create an environment where both of you can speak your mind clear and calmly. You should be comfortable expressing your thoughts and also listen and don&#8217;t dismiss whatever your spouse tells you.</p>
<p>To make your marriage work for you, do not make unreasonable expectations in a marriage. Take responsibility like how I did to save my marriage and do the best for your marriage. It takes a bit of work but the payoff is great!</p>
<p>I recommend reading Amy&#8217;s <a href="http://www.howtostaymarried.net/go/savemarriage/" rel="nofollow" ><strong>Save My Marriage Today</strong></a> book for more tips to save your marriage. This was the book which helped rescue my marriage.

<p>A study shown that those who went on dates regularly (the average was six dates a month) were more likely to be satisfied with their marriage than those who spent less time together.</p>
<p>You should also put effort and schedule some time for both you and your spouse to enjoy time together. If you have children, you most likely have been neglecting this part because you might not want to leave them in someone&#8217;s care or embarrassed to leave them at home for some &#8216;reason&#8217;.</p>
<p>Though you may joke that you&#8217;re too old to go for dates but doing everything with the children and not spending quality time with your spouse is as good as avoiding sex and romance. It will not hurt to be frank with the kids and you will stay happily married in the long run.</p>
<p><strong>Make time for vacations</strong></p>
<p>No matter how well you might have treated your spouse (probably better than I did!) your number one worst enemy could be this reason. This has the potential to bring just about any marriage down, as almost 20% women said they had not been on a vacation for almost 6 years or more. They were reported to be more likely to stressed from their unhappy marriages. By just leaving home and doing things different from your usual lifestyle can be enough to re-start a stale relationship.</p>
<p>I was really wary of this and now I go on vacations (even a short one will do) yearly to get some fun, romance and relaxation. Sometimes we go camping at the state park! Just as the old saying goes, &#8220;All Work and No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy&#8221;. I’m glad I realized soon enough!</p>

<h3><strong>Respect each Other</strong></h3>
<p>Sometimes you leave a sigh with displeasure and even roll your eyes when your spouse talks to you. One thing many don&#8217;t notice is disrespect can do damage on your marriage. Bad attitutes such as rolling your eyes is most damaging and classic sign of disrespect.</p>
<p>This can increase chances of marriage ending in a divorce. Sometimes, non-verbal actions can cause more damage compared to those communicated verbally. So you have to be more aware of your behavior and don&#8217;t ask for honest feedback unless you&#8217;re ready to take it without being on the defensive side.</p>
<p>Be more self aware and you will definitely improve your relationship with your partner. I&#8217;m sure you don&#8217;t want to stay divorced forever!</p>
<h3><strong>Hug Each Other</strong></h3>
<p>It may sound simple but many couples don&#8217;t hug each other anymore after sometime in a marriage. Hugging is found to boost blood levels of oxytocin, a relaxing hormone linked to trust and closeness in partners.</p>
<p>Some couples think of &#8220;Hugging = Sex&#8221; in a marriage, I strongly suggest they start changing! Wives often try to avoid physical contact with their husband because they don&#8217;t want him to get aroused. This is as good as pulling away from closeness and connection with each other!</p>
<p>Luckily, now you know that initiating a hug will do you good. Just ask your partner to join you in light hugs each day and you will feel better afterwards!</p>
<h3><strong>Celebrate Special Days Together</strong></h3>
<p>You must celebrate days that are special to both of you. Record them on a your personal calendar and don&#8217;t forget it. Sometimes a belated surprise is better than having no celebration at all.</p>
<p>Some of the days you should be celebrating are days you met your spouse, your wedding day, your birthday and your partner&#8217;s birthday, Valentine&#8217;s day, New year&#8217;s day and many more. Choose something that brings a significant meaning for a celebration.</p>
<p>Many spouses complain that their partner never buys them a gift, and don&#8217;t celebrate any special days. It&#8217;s sad to hear this because it seems like a loss of opportunity to celebrate. Life is short and you are meant to treasure it with your beloved partner so take the opportunity to celebrate every special day you have been together!</p>
<p>Lastly I want to say that, no matter how much you read these tips, putting them into action is the only way to stay married with your partner. I hope you learned how to stay married happily and try to work hard on your marriage!</p>

<p>I get mail so often from people experiencing marriage problems and just want to give up on their marriage so easily. You may be one of them, thinking &#8220;When do I stop this horrible relationship, or what should I do?&#8221;</p>
<p>Often it is the decision to stay or give up your marriage depends on the your heart. If you disconnect yourself from your spouse and decide that things are over between the both of you, it will happen that way and the relationship will eventually break down into divorce.</p>
<p>However, there are some relationships that are better off &#8216;letting go&#8217;. Many people as when is it time to quit on the marriage and give up and get out of the marriage, you should notice these few pointers I&#8217;m about to share with you. You should definitely give up on your marriage if:</p>
<ul>
	<li>You have to abandon your own goals</li>
	<li>Your relationship separates you and your friends and family</li>
	<li>You are tied down to your marriage and you can&#8217;t enjoy your own time</li>
	<li>It changes your principals and self belief</li>
	<li>You are suffering from abuse</li>
	<li>You are always troubled over your marriage problems</li>
	<li>You have no communication with your partner</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;" title="marriage-when-to-give-up" src="http://www.howtostaymarried.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/marriage-when-to-give-up.jpg" alt="marriage when to give up When To Give Up On A Marriage" width="236" height="163" /></p>
<p>These are few of the big pointers that your marriage is better of giving up. If you take all your time to think about your marital problems and forget about your own health, mentally or physically, you should definitely seek expert advice. Sometimes it is better to get someone else to tell you how much you are wasting your time and energy on a pointless relationship.</p>
<p>If you are the only one trying to save your marriage, it is also a sign that things will not do well. As I said before, it takes two for a marriage to work. You and your partner have to be proactive and work towards improving your relationship. At the end of the day, you can only control yourself and not your partner&#8217;s will.</p>
<p>For example, if you get married to a heavy smoker, you cannot stop them from smoking in a day. Same goes to an alcoholic. Things might go from bad to worse if your partner is involved in an affair. If you are involved in marriage abuse, you should definitely consider giving up on the marriage. If it happens once, it will happen again in the near future.</p>
<p>If you have tried every possible method, changing yourself and trying to make your relationship work but to no avail, then you have no more control over the situation. You might not know it but sometimes a simple word from your partner might change your whole relationship. Don&#8217;t give up on yourself in hope of changing for another person. Note that you should not play the waiting game as it may waste your lifetime doing so. Imagine yourself still waiting for the right words to come out from your partner after 10 years.</p>
<p>Remember that you have control over your own life. If you are in a marriage that does not give you happiness, you should start making a wiser choice for yourself. Although it will be a hard decision, you deserve an opportunity to choose the way you want to live.</p>

		</div><p>Previously, I talked about some of the first steps I did to learning how to stay married with my wife. I tried things like counselling and quickly realized that they were there for the money. Failing and unhappy marriages falls prey to marriage counselling service (who gets paid a handsome amount of money).</p>
<p>Obviously, I stopped going to counselling and resorted to other methods but they all didn&#8217;t work. Knowing what doesn&#8217;t work was just as important because doing the kind of things that didn&#8217;t work would only make my marriage worse.</p>
<p>I mentioned that both parties need to be ready for honest discussion (which we didn&#8217;t). You need to do whatever you can to make yourself happy. This is crucial, and you have to make sure your partner knows that you value and encourage his/her own happiness as well. Falling out of love usually means someone lost track of how to experience the things that make them happy. It could be either themselves or their partner. At least that&#8217;s what I think.</p>
<p>Those were times that I would not want to repeat and think of anymore, but I can honestly say that I am happy that we&#8217;re in a solid relationship now. Having honest discussions with each other is a real gift to me and I couldn&#8217;t have done it without Amy Waterman&#8217;s course.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m lucky that after resorting to so many methods, I&#8217;m blessed with a truly great resource which guided me on how to stay happily married.</p>
<p>To help those who are learning how to stay married, I have listed out key points which I realized after going through Waterman&#8217;s book. I hope this helps understand what you should not be doing when learning how to stay married.</p>
<p><strong>Begging </strong></p>
<p>This is one of my biggest mistake as I thought begging Julie to rekindle our marriage was the best and quickest solution. I figured it wrongly. It only made our marriage worse.</p>
<p><strong>Indepth discussions (too soon)</strong></p>
<p>Another big mistake in my part, I wrote lists of what I felt was wrong with both of us and pushed her to do the same. Both of us weren&#8217;t ready for an honest discussion and it made things worse. We started ignoring each other.</p>
<p><strong>Help from friends, relatives and happy couples</strong></p>
<p>You must tread lightly on this one. I sought my relatives and friends who were experienced in marriage and soon it became widely known to everyone. It was embarrassing for Julie and myself. Even though some advice were helpful, many weren&#8217;t. At one point, they even advised me to file for divorce! Little to my knowledge, our marriage turned from bad to worse.</p>
<p><strong>Marriage counselling </strong></p>
<p>I mentioned that I even resorted to counselling. I saw a marriage counselor but it didn’t work very well. After several sessions, Julie refused to attend counselling with me. I&#8217;m not sure why (I know now after having read Saving My Marriage Today) but the Fees for counselling was expensive enough to avoid.</p>
<p>These are a few key points which didn&#8217;t work for me. I know taking action is better than doing nothing but you have to take the <strong>Right Action</strong>. I was fully aware that if I didn&#8217;t learn how to stay married with Julie, my marriage with her would be over very soon.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howtostaymarried.net/go/savemarriage/" rel="nofollow" >Amy&#8217;s Save Your Marriage book</a> was very helpful to me as I could see our relationship sliding down to the dangerous side. She was extremely helpful in helping me avoid pitfalls and common mistakes that can kill a marriage or even start a divorce. There are checklists, exercises, and examples, to ensure that you can stay on top of yourself and your relationship.</p>

		</div><p>I struggled a lot in my marriage with my wife Julie, and many times I was left figuring out how to stay married together. As time went by, we weren&#8217;t the cute couple anymore as I had more responsibilities as the head of the family.</p>

<p>The marriage didn&#8217;t go very smooth as we argued over small things almost every day. We fought over minor issues and over time, we started to feel irritated at each other. I didn&#8217;t want that to happen but somehow we got tired of each other. At one point, we started avoiding each other stopped communicating.</p>

<p>It reached up to the point where she decided to sleep in separate rooms. We had a spare room as we had planned to have a children, so she slept in that room for almost many months. All I could think of was divorce and it was the best possible solution for both of us.  Julie is a smart, educated, but stubborn woman.. and I still loved her very much.</p>

<p>What made if more difficult for me was that I was the only one trying to save our marriage. Julie didn&#8217;t try patching things up together because of her personality. She was either ignorant, in denial or just didn&#8217;t really care about our marriage.</p>

<p>I went for counseling alone and talked to my friends who were happy in their marriages and listened to their advice. One friend told me that I should open up more to her so I moved onto talking in depth about where things went wrong so this does not happen again.</p>

<p>It didn&#8217;t work at all and made things worse between the both of us. She had been comfortable with her life and didn&#8217;t thought much on how to stay happily married with me. As we talked and discussed more with each other over problems with our marriage, the more we blamed each other over everything.</p>

<p>Little to my knowledge, <strong>this was the Biggest Block</strong> to staying married with Julie as I&#8217;ve never actually started to look at the whole situation in another way.</p>

<p>I learnt from Amy Waterman&#8217;s <a href="http://www.howtostaymarried.net/go/savemarriage/" rel="nofollow" >Save My Marriage book</a> which I bought online. I realized that talking to each other was absolutely important <strong>BUT</strong> not until you&#8217;re firmly on solid ground again. (You must make sure that you are ready for this discussion). Julie wasn&#8217;t ready and she was being too defensive for the whole honest discussion thing.</p>

<p>Fortunately, we are happy now and our unhappy marriage is a thing of the past. <a href="http://www.howtostaymarried.net/how-to-stay-married/" rel="nofollow" >Read my next post to find out more about how I did it!</a>.</p><p><a href="http://www.howtostaymarried.net/how-to-stay-married-introduction/" >How To Stay Married – Introduction</a> is a post from: <a href="http://www.howtostaymarried.net" >How To Stay Married Forever</a></p>
