I Need To Save My Marriage Today

That's right, when there is a problem in a marriage, we say 'I need to save my marriage today' because tomorrow it may be too late.  There is never a better time than today to start to work on a problem.  Why wait another day and feel another day's pain if there is the possibility of starting right now to get things back on track?

When your marriage is coming to an end, it feels as if the whole world is about to end with it.  And there's the clue, right there, as to how to get that marriage back on track.  Because often, it's not just the marriage that needs a kick start or an injection of enthusiasm and passion, it might be a whole lot of aspects of your life. 

And in these days of huge financial pressure, not to mention peer pressure and growing uncertainty over all sorts of things that we used to take for granted, there is now more than ever a chance that your relationship, your marriage, is vulnerable and may need some strengthening on its foundations to get it through a storm on the horizon or one that hasn't quite appeared yet.

One great individual who is sharing her warmth and compassion with couples every day, and has been for a number of years now, is Amy Waterman.  When I heard her speak, she said that saving my marriage today didn't need to be hard work.  She said that it might be a matter of just simply changing the momentum.  Suddenly the situation seemed not as onerous and it didn't have the sense of foreboding that previously had sat over me like a black cloud.  


Of course, I'd had lots of advice and some of it I had put into action and I'd presumed that doing anything was better than doing nothing.  But Amy Waterman's words were never clearer than when she said that not all advice is right advice.  First of all you need to sit back and decide what your dream marriage is.  And then re-enter with love and communication buoyed with the right information.  Once you've done that, I suspect that virtually anyone can have the marriage of their dreams.

Your life as a whole needs to be on the right track so that as a couple you are both going in the same direction and supporting each other in that.  And, going back to the 'hard work' thing, Amy Waterman also believes that it's about learning to have fun together.Because sometimes with workplace stress, financial responsibilities and raising a family, we do forget how to have fun together.  But, if we've had fun in the past, we know that we can have fun again.  All we need is a little bit of help and direction to kickstart the moment and get the ball rolling.

If you give the methods that are offered by Amy Waterman a chance and you follow her advice on how to put in place some simple easy strategies to solve almost any marital conflict, then the answer to that statement 'I need to save my marriage today' will be at your fingertips.  It's that easy.
