Since your reading this article, I'm going to assume that you are in a divorce or considering one. There is one thing you must have if you are going to save your marriage. With it there is a chance, without it divorce is your only real option. Before we get to what "it" is, you must take a look inside yourself.
What have you done to help bring on this divorce? You must take an objective look at what roll you have played in the path that has led to this point. It may be something you have done. Like cheating, lying, or spending to much time at work. It is just as possible that it is something you neglected to do. Perhaps you haven't been spending time with your partner. In any case you must "own up" to your part of the problem. First to yourself and then to your spouse. But before you talk to your spouse let's find out if your marriage has the one thing it needs to be saved.
The one thing your marriage must still have to be saved is love. As long as your marriage still has love at it's core, you have a fighting chance of saving it. It is the key ingredient that cannot be missing. Even if there is only a small glowing ember of love left it is time to move on the next step. You've faced and accepted your part in the divorce. You feel confident that you and your spouse are still in love. Now you have reached the final hurtle. Get this right and you are well on you way to saving your marriage.
Are you willing to change to save your marriage? This is a crucial decision and one that shouldn't be taken lightly. If your marriage isn't working something must change. Since the only person that you can fully control is yourself you must be the one who changes. If your not willing to change, then go through with the divorce. If you are willing to change then Great! You are ready.
At this point you may be wondering why I have focused on you. Doesn't my spouse have stuff to own up to as well? Doesn't he/she have to change as well? The short answer is "Yes they do." But once again I will bring up the fact that the only person you can control is yourself. Understanding this will put you in the right mindset to reach your goal of saving your marriage. Approaching this problem with the mindset of "I'm not going to make an effort unless they do." will only lead to failure.
You will save your marriage by taking the lead and encouraging your partner to follow. You have made the decision now it is time for you to take action. Massive action is the key to everything you want in your life. Including building the marriage you have always dreamed of.
You have come a long way. You have faced up to your part in causing the divorce. You have searched your feelings and found that love is sill there. You have decided that you are willing to change to save your marriage. Finally, you have taken the responsibility to lead your partner into the battle to save the most important relationship in your life, your marriage.
