Adjusting, compromising, showering love time and trust in the relationship, not letting 'ego' come in your relationship, you might have tried everything for a happy marriage... but, try even these before taking that big step of ending your marriage, in the room of Court...

Counseling

The first step you have to take when your marriage is on the verge of divorce is to seek help from a marriage counselor. This is because when two people are not able to make a marriage work, involving a third party can help in solving the marital problems. The counselor will help you and your spouse to chalk out the positive reasons to avoid divorce. Apart from marriage counseling, you can also consult your religious pastor who can also prevent the chances of divorce. Moreover, there are several self help books, DVDs, marriage training courses, etc. which can be surely helpful to save one's marriage. Getting help from outsiders can help in sorting out issues between you and your spouse and eventually preventing divorce.

Open Communication

One of the most common reasons for couples to end their marriage is very less or lack of communication. In today's world, when both the husband as well as the wife are busy with their work, communicating and spending time with each other takes a back seat. Sometimes, people start taking each other for granted and all this can cause frustration which is one of the main reasons for people to think of divorcing their spouses. Hence, bringing open communication into the marriage is one of the crucial steps to avoid divorce. Listen to your partner views and opinions and try to understand it by putting yourself in his or her shoes. When you begin to empathize with your partner, he/she will also try to understand you which will help both of you to stay happy.

Bring Back Romance

Romance is one of the most important factors that makes the marriage going. However, our busy schedule and routines, make it take a back seat. A few years down the line, most couples are only left with conversations about their children, house, finances, etc. This can make the relationship quite boring and hence, it is important to spice up things and add zing to the relationship. Though going to a second honeymoon does sound a good way of spicing up your married life, it is not the only romantic thing that you can do for your spouse. Giving gifts without any reason, small gesture of love, genuinely appreciating and praising the other, etc, can do wonders to a relationship.
