There surely comes a time during all relationships when one, or both, parties has had enough and wishes to wash their hands with the whole situation.
Constant fighting, infidelity, financial problems or, simply, falling out of love can be reasons for the imminent break-up.
However, there are ways to help should you only have a week to save marriage.
One way to go about fixing your relationship would be to enroll in an intensive counseling program.
These programs require a big effort from both sides to be isolated from all other distractions and work closely with the counselor.
By listening to the stories and concerns of each person the counselor will acquire the tools from which to assist in reconnecting you as couple.
Professional help, like this, will help to unravel the true feelings and in turn open up a new world of opportunities from which to build upon.
Obviously this kind of help comes at a cost and one which is not always affordable.
The other option is to sit down with your spouse and attempt to work things out alone.
Talk and be honest and open about everything, good and bad.
Make, and share, individual lists of the positive and negative points in the relationship.
Decide which are the most pressing issues and create a daily schedule, with goals, from which to work from.
If possible, free yourself from any other commitments and try to return to the happiest point of the relationship.
Naturally, these options provide no full proof guarantee and with only a week to save your marriage, the most important role is played by you.
Two willing, committed parties are required for the relationship to resurrect.
Without this then you could still be in trouble, and remember that there may be more at stake than your personal happiness alone.
