The average marriage which ends in divorce lasts a little under eight years. In that period of time, most couples go through lots of ups and downs, to say the least. Sometimes, a marriage takes off like a rocket, and other times it goes into a nosedive.
Honor and Respect Your Partner
People inevitably change over time. Understanding, appreciating, and adapting to those changes is critical for any relationship. Start by making a list of your partner's best qualities to remind yourself of the wonderful person you married. This exercise will help you remember why you fell in love with them in the first place.
Stay positive
Your spouse fell in love with a happy and emotionally balanced person. If you have become exhausted by conflict in the relationship or no longer feel your marriage is salvageable, take a step back. It’s natural to feel down about conflicts in your relationship, but try to focus on the big picture. When you feel depressed about the state of your relationship, think back on all the good times you’ve had with your spouse.
Think before discussing money
Stop and think about what day of the month it is before discussing household finances. Try your best not to broach the topic when the household bills have just been paid. No matter how constructive you believe the conversation could be, if one person is covering everything or covering most financial obligations, one party will feel under-appreciated and the other will feel that the other does not recognize their nonmonetary contributions. Emotions are raw at the first of the month.
Divorce is a big step, and also a costly step, from a financial and emotional standpoint.
