Resolving the more common marriage problems may seem difficult when you are in the thick of it and trying to find ways to improve your relationship.
The longer the problems or issues are allowed to continue the more it can create the assumption that things have gone too far.
What is really needed in this situation is a greater resolve by both partners to move forward with a healthy and happy relationship.
Often all it takes is some basic guidance and you can be well on your way to recovering the situation.
See if these help you...

• My number one tip to resolve any conflict is effective communication.
  Effective communication isn't fighting, blaming, accusing or arguing.
  The art of good communication is about listening.
  Don't just hear what your partner is saying actually listen to what is being said and how it is being said.
  Feel the emotion and you will know how serious the situation is.
  Being attentive in this way creates a joint commitment to understanding what the problems are and a resolve to fix them.
  
• To be able to communicate openly, you need to be honest with yourself, as does your partner.
  You are already half way there when you admit to your marriage problems.
  Don't, and things will never get better.
  
• One of the most common marriage problems is selfishness.
  It is better to give than to receive, as they say.
  Be attentive, responsive and, above all, put your partner's needs before your own.
  
• A change of attitude and behavior is almost inevitable.
  Don't force your partner to change without making any effort yourself.
  Take the initiative and show how committed you are to the marriage.
  
• I will hazard a guess that the reason you are here is because you still love your partner.
  When was the last time you told him or her? When was the last time he or she told you? Create an environment that encourages intimacy, encourages communication and allows that love to be demonstrated.
