How to Save Your Marriage
5 Things I Learned When I Was Ready to Give Up on My Marriage

Someone once told me that the secret to her long marriage was that she and her husband never wanted a divorce at the same time. While there's definitely some truth to that joke, I'd say the caveat is that neither partner can really, truly want a divorce at all. Sure, you can want your spouse to make great changes and you can be frustrated by how your marriage is going, but you both need to be present and committed to doing the work to get back on track. If one partner is completely checked out, the other can't do it for them. But if you're both on the same page about wanting your marriage to last and doing everything necessary to achieve that, odds are you'll find your way to a happier place.
