What if you were given one week to save your marriage? What could you do in those seven days? Do you think you could do it? Below are some tips that you can use to save your marriage.
A good place to start is to avoid asking questions that provoke a negative response from your partner.
No one wants to feel like they have to be placed on the defensive or experience negative feelings about themselves.
In simple terms: avoid pushing their buttons.
The next step can be uncomfortable for some people.
You have to step back and take an objective look at yourself.
How did you contribute to the state of your marriage? What were some of your bad behaviors? Learn from the unpleasant results of these behaviors and avoid practicing them in the future.
Keep the lines of communication open.
If it is at all possible, meet your spouse for coffee or lunch.
Use the time to speak to them about issues that are important to both of you.
Use a calm, pleasant voice and do not get overly emotional.
Be prepared to make compromises or to revisit the topic at a future time if a compromise cannot be reached.
Be on your best behavior and show your spouse your good side.
People are their most attractive when they are optimistic and cheerful.
Practice unconditional love.
This is also known as agape love.
As the word suggests, this is a type of love that knows no bounds, hence no conditions.
To put it another way, it is a type of love that is selfless.
This type of love will help you to see past your partner's limitations and imperfections.
Be a good, faithful, and supportive partner or spouse.
When you fail or feel defeated by a particular problem or situation, instead of feeling bitter and sulking, learn from it and chalk it to experience.
This will help you to allow yourself to grow and become a better person.
One last important step is for both of you to seek out a professional marriage counselor.
These professionals are specially trained to help guide both you in your quest to mend your relationship.
To make the most of these seven days, both of you should start the counseling process on day one.
Explain to the counselor your plan to save your marriage in seven days.
To make the most of your counseling, they need to have an honest look at your communication style, the issues affecting the marriage (both past and present), and how both of you have resolved issues in the past.
Be prepared to be open with your counselor.
Any distractions such as children and work need to be removed to facilitate this process.
This means that both of you need to take a week off of work and send the children on a 7 day "mini vacation" with a trusted relative or friend.
Saving your marriage in one week is not impossible if you keep these points in mind.
It will not be that easy, but you stand a good chance of success if you are open, honest, and compassionate.
I wish the best of luck to both of you.
