Save Your Failing Marriage with Counseling

You can't really tell if a marriage is happy by looking at someone else's marriage.

There are things you can do to be happy. You must keep a positive attitude and see the good things in your marriage partner.



Can a marriage last a long time and be happy?

Many people are married for 50 or 60 years. It is hard to tell if they are happy. You can only tell about yourself. Don't fall into the trap of wishing your life were different. Learn to change your life into what you want it to be. Continue learning your whole life. Read books, go to counsilors, but don't ever stop learning.



What can you do to save a marriage?

You can get advice from a professional about ways to make your marriage better. You can read books about how to be a happy person. Being positive is key. Feeling good about yourself and contributing to the marriage are also very important






How do you get love back after many years of marriage?

You can only change yourself. You cannot change someone else. However, someone else can change themself and you may not know how to relate to them any more. You must continually listen to and learn about your spouse.




You can only tell if you are happy, not if others are happy in their marriage.

Don't be jealous of other marriages and compare yourself to them. Focus on your own marriage. You would probably be very surprised about most other people's happiness in their marriage anyway. It is a mistake to compare marriages and try to make your marriage fit some different type. Deal with what is real.




Can a marriage withstand the pressure of children and busy jobs?

Only time will tell.
