In many countries in the world today, laws have been promulgated pertaining to divorce and annulments that would allow squabbling married couples to go their separate ways. While many men and women leap at this opportunity to be finally free of the partner whom they have ceased to love, there are still others who want to find ways on how to save a marriage that has been plagued by problems and strife.

From their experiences with troubled marital relationships, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists and human sexuality specialists have ascertained two factors that will affect the chances of a marriage being saved. The first factor is if both the husband and wife still like each other. When you say “like”, you should not mistake this for the deeper emotion of love. Couples who maintain a mutual liking and respect for each other have greater chances of saving their marriage. You have probably heard of couples who sought a divorce but claimed that they remained “close friends”. A few years later, they have remarried.

The second factor is sex. Active sexual activity between the man and woman is a key factor in saving a marriage, regardless of whether the relationship is a mutually respectful or a miserable one. It may seem disturbing but research studies have shown that couples who have an active sexual relationship stay together longer, even if either the man or the woman is prone to abusive behavior.

If you are in a troubled relationship and you want to save your marriage, here are some valuable advice from psychiatrists and human sexuality experts.

Save Marriage Stop DivorceFirst of all, it is part and parcel of marriage for couples to have the occasional fight. Conflict is a very normal aspect of a relationship, as long as it is resolved. If you have just had a heated argument with your spouse, give each other some space. Both of you will need to evaluate your respective roles in the squabble in private and come up with ways to resolve it. Avoid holding grudges. Once the two of you are calm and capable of thinking objectively, face the problem squarely together.

Secondly, learn to accept and understand each other’s shortcomings. No individual is perfect, and sometimes a man or a woman may have difficulty in changing their ways. Through acceptance, you can learn to adapt, so that conflicts can easily be resolved.

Thirdly, by the same token as the second advice, learn how to forgive. It is only through forgiveness that you can let go of the hurts that you have inflicted upon each other, so that the both of you can make a committed and concerted effort to save your marriage.

Fourth, if the hurt is too much for you to bear at the moment, spend some time apart. Either you or your spouse can stay temporarily at a house of a relative or a friend. The distance will give you the chance to cool your tempers and to objectively evaluate your situation.

Finally, if you feel that it is impossible for the both of you to face each other without quarreling all over again, seek the help of a marriage counselor, psychologist or psychiatrist who can mediate and guide you into discovering resolutions to your problems.

Saving Marriage from Gambling Addiction

by Sarge Denver on May 16, 2012

During these very difficult economic times, more and more people are looking for very easy ways to make money. Unfortunately, it is when cash is hard to earn that casinos, Bingo parlors and lotteries are coming up with big prizes to entice people cough up their last bills and gamble.

As the prizes get bigger and bigger, the more a person buys tickets and wagers larger. Before he or she even realizes it, he/she is already addicted to gambling.

A gambling addiction in one or both spouses can also wreak its toll upon a marriage. Much like addicts, gamblers need money to get their “fix”. The husband or wife soon notices this as a marked decrease in the paycheck or unexplained deductions from the family budget or withdrawals from the bank account.

This exorbitant spending can lead to frequent squabbles, so that gambling spouse becomes very secretive of his/her activities. For example, an acquaintance’s husband is hooked on Bingo. During one argument, her husband told her that some of the money he gave her came from his winnings.

There was even another time when he gave both his wife and daughter $500 each from his Bingo winnings. You can only just imagine the horror of the wife when she learned from a neighbor that her husband had actually lost $10,000 in Bingo alone and settled only for a $1,000 consolation prize.

Gambling addiction needs to be curbed before it puts considerable strain on a marriage. If your husband or wife is gambler, learn about this type of addiction. There are many great resources on the Internet that will help educate you on gambling as a form of addiction.

Part and parcel of dealing with a gambler is the knowledge of how to manage the finances properly. If your spouse is gambling, you will need to discover the “tricks” on how to keep your budget intact and continue getting the same amount of money monthly from your husband or wife’s paycheck. Ask about possible legal issues.

It may be possible that your spouse has incurred a huge debt in order to sustain his or her gambling habits. Inquire with your lawyer on how to deal with these legalities.

Although it may be difficult to do so, you need to convince your gambling spouse to seek counseling. There are support groups like Gamblers Anonymous. Or you can inquire about addiction support groups in your church. You might want to consider attending a few sessions alone, to get an idea on what to expect.

If you are convinced that a group can help your spouse, ask from the group members how you can go about convincing your gambling husband or wife to attend sessions. Many members will tell you that the first step is to get your spouse to admit that he or she has a gambling problem. If you cannot do this alone, invite a support group member, psychologist or counselor to your home who will have a better chance of convincing your spouse about the necessity to seek professional help.
