Indispensable Strategies to Keep Your Marriage Together

There are Indispensable Strategies for a Successful Marriage, but you will want to know what they are now and find out which one works best for you and your spouse. Marriage is a journey of many turns, and no two are alike. You have probably heard the old saying, "what you sow, you will surely harvest." That saying is very true, because marriage is about taking time for each other to enjoy ourselves rather than worry about what we are doing.

I have two young children that I have taken a lot of time to nurture. This has been a challenge for me and I really appreciate the many sacrifices my spouse has made to keep our family intact. My oldest daughter met and married a wonderful man when she was 18. We have five children and it takes a great deal of sacrifices for us to not be a family. We have discovered that being a Family in marriage is way more fulfilling and gives us more time to spend with each other.

When my son was in college, he developed an addiction to drugs. For two years, he was completely sober and it seemed like it took him just a few seconds to get loaded. Unfortunately, he did not realize the serious impact his addiction had on his family until after he had graduated from college. When he and his friend were going over something, his friend would get angry and say something to his son about smoking. At that point, my son realized that smoking was destroying his social life and his career.

As a Father, I have to admit that I am becoming very tired and frustrated by all of the paperwork and endless hours of household chores. My nights are filled with sleepless nights wondering if my children are safe and happy. I used to be able to get a lot done during the day, but now I cannot even get six hours of sleep at night. My marriage is slowly falling apart and I feel like I am running a race against time to get my life back on track.

Recently, our church purchased a large building and put it in an urban area. Our neighborhood has always been fine, but now the kids seem to be spreading out even farther from home and their friends are becoming more distant. This has caused some soul searching on my part and I have started to consider what might be different in order to keep my marriage together. I started to ask myself why we are not presenting more in our Sunday morning church meetings about keeping the marriage together.

As you can see, there are many reasons why you need to start considering what is going wrong in your marriage. If you take a little time to consider what is going on, you will find that you have several strategies to work with. You will need to consider how you are feeling on a regular basis and you will need to take action quickly to make sure that you do not hurt your spouse any further in this disastrous marriage. God designed marriage to be a loving union and if you are experiencing a great deal of marital unhappiness, He might give you some tools to work with as you try to repair your marriage today.
