What should I do, how do I begin?

You want your marriage to be happier but you don't know where to begin. You should begin by making a promise to be the best spouse that you can be and to do good by them and yourself. What is it that makes your spouse so upset about you and can you fix this problem? If there is something that you do that your spouse can not stand then you need to fix it. Some people say that people can't change but I disagree. People change everyday of their lives but in different ways. Some become lazier over time and others pick up new hobbies or other different things such as habits. Do you argue a lot with your spouse? Why not cut out some of the arguing by listening and waiting a few seconds before answering. Waiting will allow you enough time to consider what you are about to say.

My spouse doesn't want to be with me

Why doesn't your spouse want to be with you? There has got to be an answer somewhere. My husband and I were on the verge of divorce that even I didn't see coming. I asked him why he stopped loving me and he said that he didn't but he was getting to where he couldn't stand me anymore. We each wrote down a list of things that we couldn't stand about each other and worked hard to fix these issues. It wasn't easy and it took time but we are probably the happiest couple that I know of. We work together and compromise over everything that we do. If you can compromise then try to do it or your marriage won't be very tolerable and will probably be another statistics in divorce.

We want to stay married for the kids

First of all, this is the wrong reason to be married to someone and I can tell you from first hand experience that it can be torture to everyone living in your home. My parents stayed married for this reason and ended up getting a divorce before it was over with. My parents pretended that they were the only ones that knew that it was just because of me and my older sister but they weren't fooling anyone. If you really want to be married to this person then stop pretending and start working towards a happier marriage for the sake of you and your family.

Marriage is something that everyone should enjoy even after the honey moon phase has worn off and the kids start popping out like popcorn. Marital bliss is a made up word for when marriages are at its wits end and no one knows what to do about it. I like the word marital bliss since it kind of goes together but so does happily married and happily married is what we all plan to be when we grow old with our significant other.
