Who Can Help Me Save My Marriage?

By Robert Hardy

Wondering "who can help me save my marriage"? When you have gone through all of the choices on your own, it typically can be exasperating knowing where to turn. You have taken the right step by seeking out more alternatives. This article presents some concepts that can hopefully aid you.

Marriage Counseling

Marriage counseling is one of the first places that one thinks of when looking for help on how to save a marriage. Marriage counselors are taught to assist you and your partner in resolving conflicts and getting your marriage back on track. However, unless both partners are dedicated to the counseling, it can be difficult to achieve success. It should also be worth noting that the typical success rate for marriage counselors is only about 30%.

The Internet

The internet offers hundreds of online forums and websites devoted to resolving marriage problems. You can ask a question and expect to receive one or more responses. You must be alert, on the other hand, when considering any suggestion received from people you don't know. Due to the anonymous nature of online forums, you can't always be confident of the reliability of the source.

Friends

If you know of friends that have been through potential breakups and successfully resolved their problems, they will be a smart resource for advice. Presumably, they will gladly discuss how they worked through their issues and offer advice to you. Keep in mind, however, that they will be discussing their own perspective and trials that might not apply to your situation.

Self Help Books

If you have spent any time on the web searching for "save my marriage", you will have little doubt run across self help books or ebooks giving a "formula" for resolving your marriage difficulties. Many of these books are written by counselors or individuals who have successfully saved their marriage. In most cases, they provide a step-by-step method that is surprisingly successful.

In summary, these are some places you'll be able to turn to when seeking assistance on saving your marriage. You may use some of them or all of them. But whatever you do, take action promptly!
